Presented by:  Human Capital Institute
Webinar Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU

Are you teaching your employees to be learners?

  • Not all employees are equally skilled at learning.
  • Some of your team members can’t walk around the block without gaining new professional skills
  • Others seem to resist every attempt to reach them.

At organizations that provide outdated, ineffective training, weak learners aren’t getting anything at all and elite learners are fed up with poor development opportunities.

This status quo isn’t working for anyone, but it’s about to get a lot worse for companies.

Today’s improving economy means that disengaged top performers will be able to leave easily.

Worse, it’ll be extremely hard to fill their open positions with millennial talent. Instead of training your top learners to leave, develop them to stay.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • Why not all employees are equally skilled at learning—and why that needs to change
  • Techniques you can use to make learning work for everyone
  • How learning can help you prioritize long-term growth
  • The one way to cultivate innovation and engage top performers

Presenter:   Alex Khurgin (LinkedIn profile) is the Creative Director at Grovo, a cloud-based training platform that identifies digital skills gaps within an organization, and provides development plans to close those gaps with highly engaging, 60-second videos.  Alex works with the Product and Content teams to help implement Grovo’s learner-first training method, which combines elements of holistic learning, competency-based learning, and microlearning to drive quick, meaningful, and lasting performance improvements.

Offered by ASPE (REP 2161) 1 Category A PDU – Free PDU
Note: Although ASPE is an REP presentations may have to be recorded as a Cat C PDU Event – Contact Traci Lester Marketing Specialist at ASPE for more information

The Testing in an Agile Environment webinar provides insights into the Tester’s role on Agile projects.

Often, the Tester role is not clearly defined or understood.

This is especially true for teams transitioning from traditional methods. Webinar attendees will gain an understanding of the Tester’s role on the Agile project along with the quality responsibilities of the entire team.

The Tester’s role is not a defined role in Agile development.

The “Team” is considered to be “generalists”, with cross-functional skills. The Tester brings special skills and a unique perspective to the project.

The Agile environment changes our traditional ways of testing.

Many of those techniques still apply and Agile has introduced new testing strategies and methods.

Join Robert Tyson (LinkedIn profile) and gain an understanding of the value that the Tester brings throughout the Agile cycle and the whole team’s responsibility for quality.

Topics covered:

  • How the Tester’s role changes
  • The Tester’s role in the Agile framework
  • Strategies to apply to testing
