IUPAT District Council 17 offers:

Supervisor Training, In-House – Course Descriptions
The major objections of Foreman Tier 1 training is:
- To expand the list of potential foreman candidates for our signatory contractors
- More generally to inform our tradespeople of the challenges of supervision on jobsites
- To inform our tradespeople of the challenges in the commodities construction and maintenance markets we typically work in (e.g., oil sands, potash)
- Prepare attendees to be good Mentors for up and coming Apprentices
Who should take FM Tier 1: anyone with an interest in supervision, DC17 markets, and / or Mentorship challenges
Length: Two (2) Days
Instructor: Finishing Trades and Third Party Instructors (FTI)

Description: Recently revised, STP is a 2 day lecture / workshop training program for foremen and supervisors, or potential foreman and supervisors. Ideally, it consists of two [2] instructors, one from Labour, the other from Management. FTI Labour STP instructors come from across North America. Management Instructors are similarly recruited from North American IUPAT signatory contractors; to avoid conflicts of interest, management instructors are assigned in areas outside of their usual company territories. In this way, both labour and management perspectives are presented to attendees.
Minimum Class Size: no hard and fast rule, but ten or more is preferred.
