Technical Training 9-1-1
NOTE: Register by Jan 15 to reserve a lunch.
Program Description:
It’s all too easy to create interesting, interactive training for “soft skill” topics like communication and customer service. But “hard skills” offer a tougher challenge. How do you engage – even energize – your learners when your topic is complex, technical, and…well, kind of boring?
Rather than create another “Death By PowerPoint” session, join this Lunch & Learn session to explore a new approach. This presentation will include:
- How to add some style to your training while keeping the substance
- How to look at your topic from a new point of view
- How to use games and metaphors to enhance technical training
Workplace Learning & Performance Competencies:·
- Designing Learning
- Delivering Training
