Retail Theft Prevention - Not Apprehension!
 
With the recent incident at Polo Park in March, it became apparent that employees may not know what they should do if their store gets robbed.  
 
Currently in Canada, retail theft is a five billion dollar problem and growing. The dollar amount stolen per incident is on the rise as thieves grab and run with multiples of an item.
 
The threat of violence is also increasing as thieves are more organized today and often carry weapons which they are not afraid to use if you or your employee gets in their way.
 
Employee's safety is extremely important and employers need to make sure that their employees are trained to know what to do if they find themselves in a dangerous situation.
 
An employee's best line of defense is prevention of theft, not apprehension of thieves.
Learn ways to protect your store and your employees by attending this 3 hour session.

3-Part Training Series 

MTEC is pleased to announce two changes to the 3-Part Training Series For Event Coordinators & Planners. In order to make this valuable training accessible for more people, we have reduced the cost by 50% and are offering the training series over weekends. 

This training series provides valuable information for people who are currently working as event planners as well as those who would like to be event planners! Whether full-time or a function of their position, this training can re-enforce what is being done right, and teach things that could avoid liability and/or failure of an event. 

Successful events don't just happen. A successful event is the culmination of planning, preparation and taking care of many details. This 3-Part Series covers everything from the Marketing, Administration, Risk Management and Human Resources involved with coordinating a successful event.  

The next series will be delivered on Friday, April 26th, 6:00pm-9:30pm, Saturday, April 27th, 8:30am to 4:30pm and Sunday, April 28th from 8:30am-4:30pm.
