Facilitation Skills

Professional facilitation skills are crucial for anyone involved in the delivery of adult education and workplace learning.

The transition to online meetings, training, and learning demands a high degree of skill from facilitators, whether they are facilitating customized or mandated programs, running an effective meeting, or operating in the more challenging arena of process facilitation. Join us online as we identify the role of the facilitator in different contexts and modalities, review trends in workplace learning and how these trends impact the evolving role of the facilitator, develop skills required for virtual environments through synchronous and asynchronous facilitation, explore tools and techniques for selected facilitation scenarios, and develop individual action plans to achieve our own facilitation goals.

Expect 3-5 hrs of work per week (asynchronous), and 1 hour of synchronous learning per week (see section notes)
