The Watertec Solution will identify suitable workplaces based on thorough research. The workplaces selected must embrace the development of each and every staff. The criteria used to select workplaces include capacity, willingness to participate, trained personal, the number of staff that they can place infrastructure and support. The Watertec Solution will work with each workplace provider to take the generic projects developed and customize them to suit the specific workplace. The Watertec Solution will work in conjunction with the workplace to end-users an that will orientate the staff into the workplace and make their transition a smooth, effective and productive one. The role of the mentor is of utmost importance and therefore all mentors who participate are thoroughly trained on how to mentor effectively to develop the staff throughout the learning. The workplace is assisted to develop a rotation schedule, which will be the most effective in terms of duration and rotation in the workplace.
