I took away new learning, new skills, and new challenges."

How The Program Works...

STEP 1

You will participate in an intensive three day Train-the-Trainer Seminar where you will learn training techniques, prepare and deliver a practice workshop with your peers.

STEP 2

You will market and deliver one of the 10 workshops provided in the Step 1 training to a group of owner-operators from your local community. We will provide you with all the tools and resources necessary to deliver your chosen workshop.  You will have a virtual meeting with the Learning Manager for the program in order to assess your demonstrated competence and to review your application for approval as an authorized trainer. Throughout this process, you will receive the support and guidance of your Learning Manager via phone and personal contact as needed.

You will also have access to your trainer peers via a private email list serve. Authorized trainers will have on-going access to these resources, as well as up-to-date versions of all of the small business development workshops on the ACSBE Trainers website.
