This program is specifically designed for new employees in either the cement
or concrete industry. It is especially beneficial for those personnel who need to get up to
speed and understand more than just the difference between cement and concrete. Although this program
covers much technical ground and is well suited for those entering the cement industry from other
technical fields, it is equally beneficial for personnel without any previous technical experience.
