IBEW 7th District
Foreman's Development Series
The IBEW 7th District is proud to announce its Forman’s Development Series; a program resulting from a joint effort by the 7th District Local Unions and signatory contractors to improve the quality and skills of the Foreman on Union projects. The twelve (12) two (2) hours training modules in this series are designed as basic training to assist the Journeyman or beginning Foreman in developing the skills necessary to succeed in the role of Foreman.
Although the program is designed to address the fundamentals, the experienced Foreman will also benefit from the industry “Best Practices” that have been incorporated into the series. The modules employ an action learning format and encourage a lively exchange of ideas between participants, and the experiences shared will benefit the entire class.
The Foreman’s Development Series provides a broad overview of practical hands-on fundamentals based on industry “Best Practices” and do not represent any particular management style or point of view. The goal of this series is to provide additional tools for the Foreman that will compliment other training programs either from the contractor or other industry partners. Local Union 20 has scheduled class dates for 9 of the 12 modules in the series. The remaining 3 modules will be added to the schedule as the program matures.

Each Module is a 2 (two) hour class and will be offered at least twice. The Module titled “Role of the Foreman” is a prerequisite for the remaining classes (offered 6 times).
