Cleaver-Brooks and Inveno Engineering, LLC are teaming up to deliver an exciting two-day Steam System Engineering Design and Operation Training on April 18^th and 19th at Cleaver-Brooks Training Facility in Milwaukee, WI.

Our companies use a Steam Team Group concept where the attendees work in teams of two or three people as a training team. Our instructors will provide the knowledge and demonstrate the knowledge to the class using specially designed “Steam Training Prints”. The training teams will work with the steam training prints and complete tasks to exercise and retain the acquired knowledge.

The Steam Team Group Concept is to insure maximized comprehension of the training course.

Our senior field instructors are available at any time to go into further detail on any subject matter that the attendees would like. Attendees will also receive an in-depth training manual to refer back to in the future.
