Services overview

Leaders at all levels provide vision, direction and a sense of purpose for organizations of many sizes-from entire agencies to individual work groups. The training described in this section is designed to build the knowledge and skill of new and experienced managers and supervisors.

Training can involve participants from a single organization or multiple organizations in a county or region.

Customization

Courses that follow can be delivered as described or adjusted to meet the needs of training participants and sponsoring agencies. Customization takes into consideration:
  • experience levels and program backgrounds of trainees
  • training objectives
  • performance gaps training should address
  • whether or not training is mandated
  • agency circumstances and practices related to the topic
Course topics and activities are adjusted to tailor training to the agency and audience.

If your organization has a training need not addressed on this site, The Center can develop a new course or training program.

Transfer of learning

Center training incorporates content and delivery methods that facilitate transfer of learning from the training room to the job. Center staff also can work with agencies on pre- and post-training activities that promote transfer of learning.
