Industrial Distribution Industry Training Program (IDITP)
Industry Needs Survey Questionnaire

Mohawk College, working in partnership with the Industrial Careers Pathway Steering Committee, is interested in your feedback with respect to a proposed Industrial Distribution Industry Training Program (IDITP). IDITP could benefit a wide audience of sales and technical professionals currently working in the industrial distribution industry, and additionally, provide fundamental training to newly recruited industry employees.

We invite your constructive advice as we begin to develop and build the IDITP program model. The survey questionnaire below asks a number of questions relating to program structure, delivery modes and costing. We would appreciate your time in completing the questions and returning the survey to us electronically. Your responses will be kept in complete confidence. To aid you in completing the questions, please access the Program Structure Chart attachment.
