That seems helpful.
I bet a number of employees will be able to just take the classes needed to retrain their coding skills for the new OS and transition back into the company.08-13-12 08:30 PMLike 0 - It doesn't actually say that RIM had anything to do with the transition plan. They approached the government about the transition process, presumably after the plan was already in place. They may very well have been instrumental in the plan as well. But in that case, the article does a very poor job of pointing that out.
"RIM's executive vice-president of global sales, said the company approached the provincial government and local community about the transition process after it had details of the cost-cutting plan."08-13-12 08:40 PMLike 0 - Bla1zeCB OGFFS, does no one read anything any more or think for themselves? lol
1) This isn't just for RIM employees, it's actually an Ontario program called Rapid Re-employment and Training Service that was started in 2007 - http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/budget/f...fs-annex1.html

Thanks Bla1ze for the links, I wasn't aware of the programs that are already in place, and I don't think the article made any direct mention of them either. Still good to see that RIM is somewhat involved in helping out former employees.08-14-12 07:03 AMLike 0
