Fresh Start Market
Got training for staff or other community members coming up? Are you new to the training role or has it been awhile? Uncomfortable in front of a group? Trying to recall all those “rights and wrongs” you’ve learned about training over the years? Never fret! Our experienced panel of trainers have a combined total of over 50 years training on the job, and have they got some tips for you!
Join us to discuss topics like:
1) Pre-training assessment (what to know ahead of time about your audience, the room, the day's agenda, your equipment, preparing back-up plans)
2) How to avoid delivering a speech and make training “hands-on!” (props, games, activities, methodologies for grouping and turning the room around to get your audience talking);
3) Tricks for dealing with challenging learners;
4) How to engage a larger group when learners are at obvious different levels of background/knowledge - how do you tailor the training to what they need to know? Walk away with good resource lists and a bag of tips, tricks and tools for your training toolbox!
