Joining a Great Team! A NSSC Membership List

NSSC members appreciate their seafood processing team! Look what current members have to say about the Council:

" One of the benefits of being a member of NSSC is the exposure to the training material. 

I  believe the NSSC is bringing a level of professionalism that has not been seen before in this industry.  Not only will the employer benefit from an increased skill level, but a renewed pride is evident as the employee feels more empowered and  confident changing the whole mindset from 'plant' to 'production facility"."

 Joy Sparkes, Notre Dame Seafoods, NL

“IMO Foods primarily exports to international customers, who request documentation on employee training  programs.  During plant audits, when we can show that our employees have received training developed by the NSSC,  we receive a high rating,  as the courses are well  regarded by the international auditors. 

An advantage to the NSSC training is location.  NSSC courses are offered in our local area,  saving greatly on travel cost and time away from the plant.  The regional reps are able to use their local contacts to bring  together participants from a number of plants at the same time thereby reducing our training cost.

As training is critical to a successful operation during these challenging times, the NSSC has a strong role to play within the seafood industry.”  

 

Phil LeBlanc, President of IMO Foods, NS
