Is this a great idea or what? Faced with the future shortage of skilled workers in the RFID industry, Academia and a group of skilled professionals are offering certification courses at newly-opened training centers in the larger cities in Canada. This includes Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa, Vancouver, Quebec City and a few others. Basically, if there's a professional sports team (hockey, basketball, baseball), there's a training center in that city.
Head office in Montreal has both a classroom and a state-of-the art lab. The courses are part of the CompTIA program, which includes certification. And it's not just technical courses but also RFID Project Management. Some RFID vendors are offering courses to their clients as a result of the program. This is a brilliant idea that I hope catches on elsewhere, especially in the USA, where the shortage of skilled workers could affect the supply chain.
