A couple of representatives of a heavy equipment operation training business are about the local Community College NVIT. Shawn Bonnough an instructor with Velocity Training http://www.YourInspirationalTraining.com . is here.

Shawn says that he can make a client able to run a heavy dozer in 4 weeks. He adds that the finished student has no experience in operation only competency in knowledge of its operation and safety. They say they have  their school in Alberta and list on their website an Osoyoos, British Columbia address.

In a short interview he expressed confidence in a train the trainer program for baby boomers, as being a proper choice for older experienced clients.

NVIT is a local First Nations run school who have hosted recruiters  like Flatrion Graham, the partnership that has a  share of the 3rd ,500 KV line now under construction to the Lower Mainland from the Revelstoke Dam.

The hosting is limited to supplying a room and advertising the activity at the front entrance.For recruiters like Flatrion  Graham ,according to a source,the Velocity people had an appointment with a  the dean.

The interview we had was in the waiting area of the foyer at NVIT and was ended when the gentlemen were called to a meeting.

A search of the Better Business Bureau in Osoyoos came up as:

Your search for – “Velocity Training” in “VOH1V5” – did not match a known location.

A search without location gets us a High Velocity Training ,201-5061 50 St, Camrose, AB T4V 1R3  showing a no rating status which means that the BBB has no information, that includes no significant government actions involving them. No advertising complaints. The BBB have a file on the company for 3 years with no complaints in the 3 years or last 12 months  that are open.

Velocity Training may be to new to have any BBB activity.

The  HighVelocity  Training website talks about the Enbridge project. The project is yet not approved. It is suggested as being a catalyst for need of equipment operators.

The June 2012 publication of Aboriginal Market Places reports a contracting of Velocity inc in Osoyoos with High Velocity Training in  Camrose Alberta.

It appears that they are trying to accommodate aboriginal aspiration to manage their own people by supplying training leading them to be trainers.
