The need for workforce skills development cuts across all of our councils. Elaine Gerrie-Valentini, COO of Gerrie Electric Wholesale Limited, a member of the Supply & Distribution Council worked with other wholesale distributors in the Golden Horseshoe to convince Mohawk to produce a program to train students on distribution which was needed. Their success in the Hamilton area is now on-line and becoming a success all across Canada.
The other day I received an invitation from a Mohawk alumnus to attend the Second Annual President’s Dinner. I was keen to learn more about the college that is until I found out that the dinner coincided with the Russia-Canada hockey game. A commitment aside, I was glad I attended.
They get it, by that I mean they understand what industry needs and provide practical job oriented skills which will enhance the productivity and competitiveness of enterprises. Rob Mac Isaac, President of Mohawk College announced the establishment of Mohawk College Enterprise dedicated to Corporate Training & Partnership.
The hockey game ended as it should and congratulations to Elaine and Mohawk for their good work.
