BURLINGTON NORTHERN COMMUNICATIONS TRAINING PROGRAM

The BN communications training programs are hybrid programs that combine formal classroom instruction with home study and related on-the-job kinds of training activities, with the emphasis on the home study portion. The goals of the basic training are to improve overall maintenance and construction practices, to improve employee morale, to decrease employee turnover and to increase the pool of promotable manpower. These goals are achieved by explaining the necessary technical information to prepare the apprentice to cope with the complexities of his job. Safety is impressed as is the successful completion of the assignments.
