Description:
Open to Master Trainer Program Alumni and Participants of the May 9-11 program Only.
The workshop aims to connect this elite group of transit training professionals with the latest in training techniques, peers across Pennsylvania, and support to provide excellence in training.
During the workshop, you can expect to:
- Opportunity to meet and connect with the newest class of Master Trainer program graduates;
- Hear updates on training and training techniques from the instructors, Michael Noel and Tom Eser;
- Share at least one way you have implemented the training you received;
- Discuss how you want to receive additional training, information, and new techniques;
- Engage with peers to troubleshoot, brainstorm and problem-solve;
- Understand expectations for maintaining Master Trainer certification
- Workshop counts towards ongoing training requirements for program alums.
This unique, participant-driven session will allow Master Trainer Program alums the opportunity to connect, share information and resources, and seek feedback. Attendees are encouraged to come with topics they would like to discuss. Think about any issues you’ve been experiencing that your peers might be able to help you with. Have you tried something new that has proven to be a game-changer? Is there something that went poorly and you’d recommend against? This is an excellent opportunity to connect with and learn from your colleagues!
Optional Session: We welcome program alums to join us for the morning session on Thursday, May 9, to serve as the audience for the Class of 2023 program final presentations. When registering, please note whether you will be joining us for that session so we can ensure we have enough room.
