TRAINING PROGRAM

Binners’ Project is beginning work on a new, innovative training program to build the capacity of binners on staff. This program will consist of half in-session training and half on-the-job training. ​

As our social enterprise programs have grown, clients have shown increasing demand for high-quality work from binners. However, many of the binner participants in our programs, for reasons of acute economic, social, and health-based marginalization, are not always able to keep up with mainstream expectations around professionalism and evolving recycling standards. The absence of these skills can result in persistent challenges on-site and reduced quality of service.​
The training program will work on building binners’ capacity in the following areas:
  • Recycling expertise
  • Reporting on key data and metrics
  • Professionalism, leadership, and other soft-skills

Our curriculum focuses on waste sorting training, data collection, events, and key interpersonal skills that enhance binners’ professional development.

In 2023, we have scheduled 13 training sessions available for binners.
