This class is for final year apprentices who will, as journey workers, soon be responsible for passing on their skills to new apprentices.  Developed by the Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards, this 8-hour course teaches soon-to-be journey workers how to serve as a mentor and job coach, how to provide hands-on skill training, how to give positive and effective performance feedback, and explores the characteristics of a positive and diverse work environment. Please note that this is a Blackboard online course. If you are not a current/former student of Blackhawk Technical College you will receive login credentials 3-5 days before class starts.

The Multiple Offender Program (MOP) is a Wisconsin highway safety initiative aimed at assisting individuals who have received two or more OWIs (operating while intoxicated) in changing their impaired driving behavior. The Multiple Offender Program is an educational program and is not designed as a treatment program for persons addicted to alcohol or drugs. It is intended to benefit the irresponsible driver who is having continual problems with drinking and driving. Students examine the reasons why they did not successfully change behavior after the first OWI. They monitor their alcohol or other drug use or abstinence throughout the course, self-assess their current substance use patterns, explore alternatives, and learn and apply a variety of coping strategies to help them avoid future high-risk substance use. Students also complete a Personal Change Plan to help them avoid future problems with impaired driving.
