 we may lack the time, skills, or appropriate context to provide needed 
 training or orientation to newcomers or decision makers. Thus, NCRA offers 
 this inexpensive three-day course at a convenient location to help train 
 people who would like a quick overview of the current recycling industry 
 and a view of its near-term future developments.  \n\nWHO SHOULD 
 ATTEND?\nThe course is designed for newcomers to the recycling field and is 
 an ideal orientation for many people such as: entry-level program 
 assistants, interns, professionals from other fields, members of local 
 advisory committees, city council members and staff, members of the board 
 of supervisors, activists, solid-waste handlers, recycling program managers 
 and staff.\n\nCURRICULUM:\n\nDAYS 1 & 2\n\n1. LEARN THE WORDS: \n* Key
