TIMCON training programme
April 1st 2009

TIMCON is poised to launch its own training programme to enhance the knowledge and skills of employees in the timber packaging and pallet business.

The programme, which will be both exclusive and free to TIMCON members, will consist of twenty-nine modules – five of which are compulsory – covering issues from health & safety, legislation compliance, and material knowledge and understanding. It will be available to download from the members' area of the www.timcon.org website, or as a hard copy, and is designed to be taught by a designated member of staff in-house at each company.

Upon completion of the modules, the employee and the company receive certification, including use of the quality Timcon training mark.

"We understand the importance of improving industry skills and ensuring our members are aware of ever changing legislations and issues," says TIMCON president, John Dye. The training programme will provide an excellent resource to enhance knowledge, add credibility and encourage progression and passion for our industry.

"We are the voice of our members and equally, they are the voices of the industry, and it is crucial that the repairable, recyclable, and reusable qualities of wood are recognised, understood and delivered."
