Here Comes The "CURE" FOR THE ENERGY, ECONOMIC, AND CLIMATE CHANGE CRISES. "CURE" = Continuing Update and Refresher Education. For A More Educated and Fine-Tuned Workforce!

GLOBAL WARMING is a "DISEASE."
Here is a "CURE" = Continuing Update and Refresher Education. 

The COLUMNA ENERGY AND The ENERGY-CLIMATE WORLD CHALLENGE (ECWC) NOW OFFERS:

The EFFICIENCY & PRODUCTIVITY TRAINING-SEMINARS TO "CURE" THE TRIPLE CRISES OF THE ENERGY, ECONOMICS, AND CLIMATE CHANGE

The effective solution to the ENERGY, GLOBAL WARMING, and ECONOMIC Crises can be encapsulated in just two  words: EFFICIENCY EDUCATION.

Operations and Maintenance departments rely on the power, speed and versatility of machinery and technologies; but with the concern of the worsening Global Warming, there is the strong need for keeping equipment and facilities safe and efficient. With fewer workers and more tasks to complete, managers and technicians need to make machinery safety and efficiency a high priority. 

A thorough training provided on a regular basis helps achieved these goals; that also results in decreased machine downtime, cost savings, and reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Be sure to train the right people for the right job, and help mitigate Global Warming.

Partial List of Research-based Technology Management Training and Seminars 

The following list is continually updated with new courses added as the need arises. They are all designed and conducted in the perspective of EFFICIENCY to mitigate the ENERGY-CLIMATE and ECONOMIC crises.
