Program Description

This is part of a series for workforce development professionals who are transitioning to a remote-work environment.

As you transition to providing workforce development services remotely, how do you keep connected with your program participants? By utilizing Zoom, you can create engaging groups and workshops that build peer-to-peer connections and strengthen participant-program relationships.  Join WPTI for an interactive workshop to discuss how to utilize Zoom and its features for participant engagement.

 

Upon completion of this workshop, managers will be able to:

  • Set-up virtual workshops and breakout rooms;
  • Utilize Zoom for classroom instruction, work-readiness training, and case management; and
  • Use Zoom for team building activities with participants.

Registration closes on Friday, April 17, 2020, at 5:00 pm. If this training is full, you will be placed on a waitlist.
