Launching Omnia Training’s Pilot 9-Week Fiber Optic Splicing Program in Partnership with WCB

The demand for skilled fiber optic technicians continues to grow as the world relies more on high-speed internet and advanced communication networks. To help meet this demand, Omnia Training is excited to launch a pilot 9-week Fiber Optic Splicing Training Program in partnership with WCB. This comprehensive program is designed to equip clients with the technical skills, industry knowledge, and hands-on experience necessary for success in fiber optic splicing.

What the Program Offers

The Fiber Optic Splicing Training Program provides clients with a structured learning experience that includes foundational training, safety certifications, and advanced fiber optic splicing techniques. The curriculum ensures that participants develop the necessary expertise to work confidently in the field.

The training covers a range of topics, including:

• Construction fundamentals and industry best practices
• Fall arrest, confined space, and first aid certification
• Understanding fiber optic color codes and different fiber types

This hands-on approach ensures that graduates are well-prepared for careers in fiber optics, with a strong foundation in both theory and practical application.

Wage Subsidy Opportunities for Employers

One of the key benefits of this program is the opportunity for fiber optic companies to take advantage of the WCB Training-on-the-Job (TOJ) program. This initiative provides wage subsidies for employers who hire and train program graduates, making it an excellent opportunity to build a skilled workforce while reducing training costs.

The TOJ program offers a wage subsidy over six months, structured as follows:

• Months 1–3: 100% wage subsidy
• Months 4: 75% wage subsidy
• Months 5: 75% wage subsidy
• Months 6: 50% wage subsidy

By participating in this program, companies not only gain access to well-trained technicians but also receive financial support to ease the hiring process. This initiative makes it easier for businesses to invest in skilled labor without the burden of full training costs upfront.
