Description:

This session aims to connect this elite group of transit training professionals with the latest training techniques, peers across Pennsylvania, and support to provide excellence in training. This session has been changed to a Zoom session to allow more Master Trainer Alumni to participate. 

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
  • The workshop counts towards the ongoing training requirements of program alums.

This unique, participant-driven session will allow Master Trainer Program alums 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.

Presented by:
