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

Over the next year we will:
  1. Develop a custom curriculum for binners, taking into account their specific learning needs and past school-based traumas.
  2. Implement this fully peer-led, binner-informed, interactive, and low-barrier training program.
  3. Iteratively evaluate the learning sessions to ensure the program’s efficacy.
