Invite Your Foreperson to Attend ITI’s Train-the-Trainer Course

We are pleased to invite your foreperson to participate in ITI’s Foreperson Training Train-the-Trainer Course, a specialized three-day program designed for experienced sheet metal workers who are ready to train and mentor the next generation of jobsite leaders.

Please note: Participation in this course is limited to current SMART members in good standing with the union. Contractors may not register individuals from other trades or anyone who has withdrawn or otherwise fallen out of good standing with SMART due to their position within the company. 

As with all ITI classes, ITI will cover airfare, hotel, and per diem for attendees. This is an excellent opportunity for your workforce to strengthen their leadership training capabilities at no cost to you.

Built around ITI’s current Foreperson Curriculum, this course equips participants with the skills, tools, and confidence needed to effectively guide new or aspiring forepersons. Over the three-day program, instructors will explore key topics, including:

• Foreperson duties and responsibilities
• Organizational, communication, and leadership skills
• Document management, coordination, and field technology
• Productivity, cost control, scheduling, and safety
• Promoting inclusion, bias awareness, and collaborative team environments
