Posted July 2015

Last week, the Transit Elevator/Escalator Training Consortium reconvened at NYCT in Brooklyn, NY.  This team with over 350 years of cumulative experience in transit and training spent four intensive days working together on program development.  During this week, the consortium members:
*  Scheduled future courseware pilot classes
*  Reviewed and applied strategies and best practices for hands-on

    instruction 

*  Toured NYCT training center and elevator/escalator control center
*  Continued courseware development on two courses (Course 401: 

    Programmable Logic Controllers and Course 402: Advanced

    System Analysis)
*  Reviewed updated training standards - this group has added nearly

    800 new learning objectives through the courseware development

    process
*  Participated in a tutorial of the apprenticeship data program

    RAPIDS (Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Data

    System) Led by DOL
*  Identified supplemental materials and training strategies to build

    on current consortium courses
