The Quality Through Training Program Mission: "To identify and provide opportunities and the environment to support employee involvement in activities that will enable participants to meet their development needs, thereby providing highly skilled workers capable of meeting individual and company goals."

We're Helping Employees Shape Their Future: Through QTTP, the Union and The Boeing Company are working together to assist employees impacted by technology change, job combinations, or redeployment. Since it began in 1989, QTTP has helped many thousands of IAM-represented employees in Washington, Oregon and Kansas cope with a changing workplace and achieve their individual career goals.

Professional career advisors at each of the six QTTP sites offer skills assessments and educational and career guidance. Computer labs at each site host an array of computer, skills and personal development classes, and QTTP instructors also go into the factory with customized training to meet the specific needs of an area.

QTTP offers services in the Employee Development & Resource Centers (EDRC) located near the workplace in Everett, Renton, Seattle and Wichita. These centers offer advising, computer training and skill development-based classes to employees.

QTTP Career Guides and Career Explorer, used in conjunction with Workforce's new hourly Employee Requested Transfer (ERT)/ Career Explorer process, provide an effective way for employees to select, apply for, and document that they have met the entry level requirements for new jobs.

QTTP has partnered with Learning, Training and Development (LTD) and BCA Manufacturing & Quality to implement the Production Systems Improvement (PSI) Training system to ensure workers have the skills they need to perform their jobs.

QTTP also provides services to active, WARNed and laid-off IAM-represented employees.
