Bottom Line, Inc. has implemented the Craft Apprenticeship Program over the past thirty years for organizations such as Milliken & Co., Westinghouse, US Mint, DynMcDermott Petroleum, Dept. of Energy and Siemens among others. It remains the most effective, timely and cost effective way to standardize Best Method Practices throughout an organization.

Present and future business conditions highlight several critical “bottlenecks” that need addressing. These bottlenecks put key future initiatives at risk.

Regardless of the industry, the size, scope and skill of the workforce; the Craft Apprenticeship Program addresses (a) proper orientation of new employees, (b) standardized Best Method Practices, and (c) the often neglected need to provide retraining for long term employees who have long since found new and often expensive “knacks” and shortcuts.
