ASTDps :: February 2010 Chapter Meeting (Feb 16, 2010)
Submitted by astdann on January 18, 2010 - 5:11pm.“Unconventional & Effective Scenario-based Training”

Marcus Mann will present a position on training the multi-generational workforce and propose the use of Scenarios and Solution-based training as an effective tool in bridging the gap. Register Now!
