Who Should Attend?
Ongoing professional development is a challenge for most economic and Workplace development professionals. The nature of our work is to help organizations grow and prosper, but often due to a mounting workload, lack of time or budget constraints, we overlook our own learning needs. This monthly series of expert presentations is designed to address the professional development needs of business, industry and government leaders interested in promoting community development, increasing employment, enhancing workplace learning and performance, and creating wealth.
