The LEAN LEADER GROUP is excited to be the training partner for a new non-profit organization, RETURN READY!, which is providing help for displaced workers during this difficult economic time of increasing unemployment. Their goal is to help prepare displaced workers for the future by providing high-level professional training and education in the LEAN principles and concepts of continuous improvement, which have been adopted by numerous industries throughout Northern America. In addition to training individuals seeking employment, they are working to facilitate connections with organizations committed to the implementation of Lean principles and interested in hiring qualified individuals who have received the RETURN READY! LEAN Certification.

The week-long course offered by RETURN READY! is taught by our professional team from the LEAN LEADER GROUP. The intensive training program is adapted from our corporate training program and incorporates our unique hands-on simulation process designed to teach the fundamentals of the Toyota Way of LEAN manufacturing. Participants complete the week with enhanced leadership skills that will add immediate value to their resume and improve their chances of getting hired into better positions more quickly. The special interview simulation module is designed to prepare them for the journey ahead and helps reduce some of the anxiety of interviewing for their new job.
