Building Operators, are we a trade or a profession?
PMIC(Property Management Institute Canada) will speak on the continuing education for Building Operators.
Brief: I encourage all persons involved in property Management to attend this one hour webinar on September 14, 2021 This is a continuation of a meeting we had two years ago when Jim Preece and Peter MacHardy then representing BOMI Canada (now PMIC) as an introduction of what BOMI Canada presented as a gap analysis in the training of Building Operators and the facilities that they work in. PMIC has come up with a plan a solution in those gaps, that they will present to this audience at this webinar. Presenters include the PMIC (Property Management Institute of Canada) and MediaEdge Communications who together, have developed a strategic business partnership focusing on a number of significant challenges that Canadian real estate owners and operators face today related to Building Operations. This session will provide an overview of the partnership, why it was formed, its focus, today’s industry challenges, and important details surrounding a new and exciting Building Operator Designation (BOD) Program that this partnership will be launching later this fall that will consist of 22 certificates.
