The iFTI launches On-the-Job Learning Tool
The International Finishing Trades Institute (iFTI) has been working with IUPAT district councils to develop the On-the-Job Learning (OJL) and Related Instruction (RI) tool, and it was successfully launched in November. It is designed to have a universal single point of entry to track apprentice hours, compare and verify members’ reported hours, provide progress reports to apprentices, and enable reporting synchronized with the iFTI LMS and IMSe system database.
The OJL project aims to simplify the apprentice reporting of hours, reduce the administrative time required of the district councils, and capture these hours for reporting purposes.
The project was developed in coordination with the LMS, IMSe, IUPAT app, our IT. The project leaders also want to give a special thanks to the members of the OJL Task Force group.
On November 28, the iFTI held a webinar to teach district councils how to use this new feature. You can watch a recording of that webinar HERE.
The OJL feature is now available on the IUPAT app. Click to download that app on your smartphone HERE.

IMPORTANT TO SHARE
IUPAT Helping Hand - SHARE TODAY!
Representatives of IUPAT labor and management are building tools to address two of the most critical issues facing union members and employers today - substance abuse disorder and the personal hardships that lead to suicide.
One of those tools is a new website - www.IUPAThelpinghand.com. The site lists helpline phone numbers, provides the means to locate a local treatment center, and offers educational materials to download and post in the workplace or distribute to fellow members.
The International Finishing Trades Institute is also lending a hand by developing curriculum and a peer advocacy program. This training is designed to inform and empower the construction industry by separating fact from fiction and encourage our workforce to choose proactively when it comes to behavioral health issues and addictions. Our goal is to educate individuals, and promote a healthy, safe, and substance free working environment.
Share this site today with fellow members. You might just make a difference in someone's life.
