Return to Work Program Services is facilitating the WCB Basics and Return to Work Basics workshops.

WCB Basics

The WCB Basics workshop is offered both in person (one-day workshops) and virtually (workshops split over a day and a half).

In Person One-Day Workshops

Held at 363 Broadway (16th Floor) from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on scheduled days.

Virtual Workshops (1.5 Days)

Virtual workshops take place through the Webex training platform in a virtual instructor-led workshop. Webex is the online platform used to support WCB virtual workshops. Webex is not supported by iPhone, iPad and Android. For best results, use a Chrome Browser on a laptop or desktop computer.

Participants enrolled will be in the same virtual classroom at the same time. Facilitators will be verifying attendance and using confirmation of learning tools such as polls, and quizzes to confirm learning and encourage participation.

The WCB Basics workshop is divided into seven modules over a day and a half of online learning. To obtain a certificate of completion, all seven modules must be successfully completed. Space is limited to a maximum of 16 participants to ensure quality interaction. The virtual workshop is split over a day and a half:

Day 1 – 12:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Day 2 – 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Please view the calendar below and register online. If you have registered for the virtual workshop, you will be sent virtual access information and be invited to a test login session to ensure that you are able to properly access the Webex training platform prior to your scheduled workshop.

Arrangements can be made for worksite-specific WCB training with a minimum of ten participants. For more information, contact us at RTWProgramServices@wcb.mb.ca or 204-954-6161.
