Plan Now for Year 2000 Agency Training!

You've told Minnesota T2 that you want advanced information on T2 workshops to help plan your training budgets. We heard you-and so the new 1999-2000 T2 Workshop Schedule provides the information you need. The schedule identifies year 2000 workshops to educate your staff on many current engineering and maintenance-related transportation practices.

Don't let your employees miss out on meaningful, cost-effective training because it wasn't anticipated and budgeted for. We believe you won't find training as economically available and as carefully designed to meet the specific needs of Minnesota county, city, and township personnel anywhere else.

The one-page Workshop Schedule provides the course title, approximate fee, and the anticipated time frame for T2 workshop offerings. Using the Workshop Schedule, planning for training is easy. Here is what we suggest:

  1. Review T2 workshop offerings for the year 2000 and anticipate desired courses and number of personnel to attend.
  2. Determine anticipated funding needs for your agency personnel to participate in training.
  3. Incorporate these needs into your agency's year 2000 budget request.

If you need further information on a workshop, refer to your 1998-1999 T2 Workshop Catalog which provides descriptions of most courses planned for 2000. Otherwise, simply contact Minnesota T2 at 612-626-1077 for further information. (A new 2000-2001 Workshop Catalog will be mailed to you this spring.)

We hope this gives you all you need for you and your staff to plan to participate in these learning events. Also, because your agency's needs change, our training offerings will reflect these changing needs. We'll keep you posted on any new offerings. If you have any questions or have suggestions for additional training topics, please contact Maria Hagen, T2 coordinator, at 612-625-8373.
