The Wire Association International (WAI) successfully delivered its Fundamentals of Wire & Cable Manufacturing Program in a virtual format across seven consecutive Wednesdays in September and October. While the program faced occasional technical challenges, participants responded with strong positive feedback. Learn more about WAI at https://www.wirenet.org.
Virtual Fundamentals Program Expands Global Reach
The virtual Fundamentals program attracted 119 participants from 28 countries. Although traditional in-person sessions typically draw larger groups, the online format allowed more global attendees to join without travel.
As a result, WAI plans to continue offering the live Fundamentals course at events like Interwire and Wire Expo, while also considering future virtual sessions.
Participant Feedback Highlights Program Value
Attendees praised the program’s structure and accessibility. Parag Panse, Founder and CEO of ArgusIoT (https://www.argusiot.com), attended all 13 sessions, including live and recorded formats.
He noted that he would recommend the training to employees and other companies, emphasizing satisfaction with both the content and delivery.
