Workplace Fundamentals

"CVTC designed and conducted three ten-week business-related English-(as-a-second language) classes for our Asian workers at Minnesota Wire & Cable Co. This on-site program, using MWCC terminology, enhanced our workers' ability to better read and understand prints and process control documents. It was a great success and had a direct impact on our subsequent certification of the ISO 9001 quality standards."
