Attention Event Coordinators & Planners!

 

Are you the one in your office that plans and coordinates the annual golf tournament, conference or AGM?

Whether you are new to the industry or established in your career, MTEC's 3- Part Training Series for Event Coordinators and Planners will provide the tools to assist you in planning an event from start to finish, covering areas such as administration, marketing, human resources, risk management and more!

This series will also be very beneficial for those of you who may not have the title of 'Event Planner', but you are the person in your organization that performs that function as part of your position.

The next series begins on October 30 . Seats are still available!

Even if your event is already scheduled, it's not too late to make sure that you haven't missed anything,   like proper insurance coverage. You don't know what you don't know.

There are many things in organizing and coordinating an event that can be missed that could directly impact on the success of the event.  

 

A comprehensive emerit Event Coordinator Workbook, valued at $85.00, is included in the course. Our upcoming workshop series will be held on October 30, November 6 and November 13, 2015.

Safety Corner

SAFE Hospitality Needs Your Support!

MTEC has been administering the SAFE Hospitality Program for over 10 years. SAFE Hospitality is a safety program funded by a small levy administered by the WCB on the Restaurant and Food Services industry.

The program currently offers free training, information and resources customized to support safe workplaces in the hospitality industry. Since 2010 SAFE Hospitality has trained over 4000 individuals in the Restaurant and Food Services industry and beyond. Like all of MTEC training, our reach goes further than the hospitality industry. We know that a result of safety training and consulting, many workplaces are safer and have a reduction of accidents and injuries.

SAFE Work Manitoba, of the WCB, is requiring support from employers in the Restaurant and Food Services industry to confirm the value and continue the SAFE Hospitality program.

SAFE Work Manitoba is also recommending extension of the SAFE Hospitality program to more sectors. This would involve seeking support from employers in additional sectors once the base of support from Restaurant and Food Services employers is confirmed.

In order for SAFE Hospitality to be in existence beyond 2015, we require your support. We need you to sign the attached letter and forward it to Dave Kramer, dkramer@safeworkmanitoba.ca. If you have questions call him directly at 204-954-4402.

*The average business in rate code 70106 pays the WCB $3,000.00 annually. Of that $3,000.00, 7% or $165.00, supports the safety association.

Thank you for your continued support,
Shannon Fontaine, CEO Manitoba Tourism Education Council (MTEC)
