Congratulations to all of us in the training and development community! More and more job openings are coming to my attention as our field is steadily growing and becoming a key component of every thriving organization. We are sharing job openings at all of our events and we have a Job Bank on our site for our corporate members to post job listings for free. We have an arrangement with Jobing.com too – to help get the word out. ATD National also has a national job bank to help our community. If you know of an opening, please bring it to our attention so we can pass the word. We are all working together to drive the importance of talent development!
- Our October and November line up includes a number of networking events, some special chapter meetings and more National Certificate programs.
- We have added a Fireside chat this month with Dr. Anne Litwin on October 16th to discuss gender issues in the workplace. Thanks to Union Bank for sharing Dr. Litwin with our ATD community.
- Talent Development begins with excellence in programming. Our flagship program in November is our Performance Excellence and Applied Knowledge (PEAK) Awards. We will be unveiling our 2014 PEAK Winner at our chapter meeting lunch on November 19th. Our finalists will share best practices of their key T&D programs. You’ll gain insight into creating your own programs of excellence. This annual event is not to be missed!
Join the fun this fall to connect with your local community!
