A Chat with...
Jim Davis
What class are you teaching?
I am currently teaching the Transition
to Trainer class. It is the “Capstone”
class required for all individuals
engaged in any of the trades which
offer apprenticeships through the state
of Wisconsin. As the title suggests,
the class is meant to foster the final
segment of the apprenticeship training.
Any trades that require apprenticeship
training would attend this type of class,
from electricians and steamfitters to
cosmetologists and painters. I have
worked with students in a wide variety
of trades at BTC for the past 35 years.
What do you like best about
teaching at Blackhawk?
Students-The students enter the
Transition to Trainer Class classroom
with a vast wealth of knowledge and
experience they are willing to share
with the other students.
Staff-Over the years I have
encountered a number of staff
personalities and each one of them
brings a certain style with them and
willingness to help when needed.
Facilities- I have found the facilities to
be constantly updated as technology
advances.
What interesting things would
people like to know about the class?
There are so many different
backgrounds, experiences and
credentials found in one room. With
the talent and expertise gathered
there you could pretty much build a
home just from the students in that
one room. This class was designed to
foster a better understanding of human
interaction between the journey level
worker and the apprentice, and the
diversity of the students makes for a
great learning environment.
What kind of background do you
need to teach this type of class?
Having previous apprenticeship
experience is needed to facilitate
a class like this. I served a five year
apprenticeship in the plumbing
field and know that it is critical in
understanding what they are going
through. In this class it is important to
be flexible, understanding, empathetic,
and nonjudgmental, as well as having
the ability to relate to others and
appreciate their point of view.
Have you learned things from the
students you’ve taught at BTC?
Through a purely humanistic
standpoint it really hasn’t changed that
much; people are still people. They
may differ in appearance and look at
life a little differently from each other,
but we all still have the same basic
needs and wants. I also tell them that
we are all teachers in this class, I just
happen to be the one standing up
front. If people are willing to share who
they are with each other, we all learn.

Home and Home Furnishing
FURNITURE REFINISHING
Don’t throw out your furniture just because it needs a little TLC.
Refinishing your furniture will give it a fresh, new look; it will help
alleviate the strain on our natural resources; and it will cost you
much less than a new piece of furniture! Students will learn how
to strip the existing finish from the furniture, disassemble and glue
(if necessary), and prepare the surface for refinishing. Bring your
small piece of furniture, old paint brush, scraper, rubber gloves,
roll of paper towels, #1 grade steel wool and you’ll be ready to get
started! Additional supplies will be discussed at first class.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE:
TODAY’S DIFFERENTIATOR IN EXCEPTIONAL LEADERS
Emotional Intelligence, also called EQ, is the ability to recognize
and manage emotions and relationships. It is a pivotal factor in
personal and professional success. IQ will get you in the door,
but it is your EQ, your ability to connect with others and manage
the emotions of yourself and others, that will determine how
successful you are. When you look at the truly extraordinary
leaders that inspire and make a difference, you will see that
they often do this by connecting with people at a personal and
emotional level. What differentiates them is not their IQ but their
EQ. Join us for this interactive workshop to gain that EQ edge.

How has teaching changed?
GREEN COUNTY SITES
MONROE CAMPUS
Making class room presentations has changed quite a bit in
the past 35 years. We’ve gone from mimeograph machines
to copiers, from overhead projectors to whiteboards, from
16 mm projectors to computers and YouTube.

In order to maintain your credibility as an educated
instructor, especially when standing in front of students,
one needs to reflect not only confidence in who they are
but also in the subject matter they are teaching. They must
also be able to handle the technology surrounding them.
The students expect and deserve the best that any given
instructor and classroom has to offer them.

What do you hope to instill in your students
through the Transition to Trainer class?
When teaching this class, I feel one of the most important
things for people to remember is to treat others with
respect, have compassion and to always use your apprentice
experience to help mentor others.
“If you are searching for an educational
opportunity where you can learn a theoretical
and hands-on approach to the skills needed in
a particular workplace – then BTC is the place
for you.”
