This program is focused on the training manager role, with an emphasis on building training programs that align with business needs. The program has three steps: approximately 50 hours of online content, a four-day live practicum, and an exam, together estimated to take about 2-3 months to complete.</p> <p>As a current Training Manager, I had my eye on this for a bit. My formal educational background is in teaching secondary education and now I've been in the corporate environment for nearly nine years. With recent changes to my team structure increasing our reach within the organization, I wanted to build on my Bachelor's in Secondary Education, Masters in Management and experience in training software to customers, taking the next step in managing a training department at the organizational level. And as a passionate L&amp;D professional, I'm always eager to learn more and build my portfolio.</p> <p>The relaxed social obligation calendar, thanks to a global pandemic, created an opportune time to place energy in personal and professional development. Having reviewed a few programs, I settled on the CPTM for the specificity on training management, as well as the open eligibility requirements. I'm about half way into the online content and I'm really enjoying it. It's placing definition and reasoning behind things I already felt and filling the gaps on what I didn't previously understand or recognize.</p> <p>Here is the link for more information: <a href="https://trainingindustry.com/continuing-professional-development/certified-professional-in-training-management/">https://trainingindustry.com/continuing-professional-development/certified-professional-in-training-management/</a></p> <p>Best,</p> <p>Lindsey</p> <p><br></p> https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/9158888 https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/9158888 Tue, 21 Jul 2020 18:08:55 GMT <p>Mary-Frances Winters, founder of the Winters Group, a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consultancy spoke to Berrett-Koehler virtually about recent events in the racial justice movement. Her latest book, <em>Black Fatigue</em>, which will come out in the fall from B-K, focuses on the exhaustion that many minorities experience being asked to educate well intentioned whites about their experience. She reflected on how her work has changed over time starting from an emphasis on diversity being a business imperative to it now being about social justice and the right thing to do for the survival of the entire human race.</p> <p><br></p> https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/9116783 https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/9116783 JoAnne Sims Mon, 15 Jun 2020 18:33:56 GMT <p>In case you missed our collaborative webinar with our Greater Rochester Chamber on June 9th, here is the recording.&nbsp; A special thank you to Leanne and John for facilitating this session.</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GzBTQfeAXjzHMgU2UGgmqruIkMl4Y1kT/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GzBTQfeAXjzHMgU2UGgmqruIkMl4Y1kT/view?usp=sharing</a><br></p> https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/9038900 https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/9038900 Wed, 27 May 2020 19:14:19 GMT <p>If you missed the live event.&nbsp; Catch-up with our Zoom recording.</p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QTRApSttm1w5miWqOAJxvUZeDx5BmrDD/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><img src="https://rocatd.org/resources/Pictures/May27ProgramPic.png" alt="" title="" border="0"></a><br> <p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QTRApSttm1w5miWqOAJxvUZeDx5BmrDD/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QTRApSttm1w5miWqOAJxvUZeDx5BmrDD/view?usp=sharing</a><br></p> https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/8996117 https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/8996117 Mon, 04 May 2020 15:23:54 GMT <p>HR Works has an opportunity for this project.

We had a wide reaching conversation about current topics, new ideas and trends in the field. Some topics covered were how technology is influencing learning and development, especially how Artificial Intelligence affects the workplace. What we can learn about presenting training from TED talks was another area of interest. As we often use assessments such as DISC and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator in our work, there are some voices questioning the scientific basis of using these instruments. Our next meeting on Th 10/11 will address this last topic lead by JoAnne Sims.

Those that get stimulated grow while others atrophy.</p> <p>• Learning is how you acquire information about the world, and memory is how you store the information over time. `Erik R. Kandel</p> <p>• Neuroplasticity is the key to lifelong learning.</p> <p>• Brain Fitness Across a Lifetime – Keys to aging well.</p> <p>o Eat well</p> <p>o Exercise your mind and body regularly</p> <p>o Sleep 7-8 hours a night and take naps</p> <p>o Spend time in nature</p> <p>o Play games</p> <p>o Socialize and make new connections</p> <p>o Find purpose</p> <p>o Embrace technology</p> <p>o Explore new territory</p> <p>o Develop a magnificent obsession – one that you learn and share with others</p> <p><strong><br></strong></p> <p><strong><br></strong></p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <p>• Brogard, Beritand Marlow, Kristian.

The topic for discussion was '<strong>Articulating Our Value Proposition to Our Clients.'</strong></p> <p>During this session, participants shared current challenges including:</p> <p>Lack of advertising budget (non-for-profits)</p> <p>Solo--preneurs emphasized the challenge and opportunity cost of needing to spend time on sales and marketing, while also getting all the work done that we already sold.</p> <p>Everyone in attendance feels the pain of ‘feast or famine’ levels of work in combination with the need to plan time for sales efforts.</p> <p>When articulating our value proposition, we need to live in the world of our client. We need to make our offer compelling to the business by articulating it in terms of impact on the business. We used a ‘business wheel’ diagram to help make connections from our work to business goals.</p> <p>Of course, putting your value proposition in business terms assumes you know the business problem you’re solving. In other words, you might do the process of strategic planning, but the business problem you’re solving is a lack of alignment around business goals which, if remedied, would lead to greater productivity and, hopefully, to higher revenue.</p> <p>We need to understand what <em>business</em> problem we’re solving, and who in the business feels the pain of that problem. It’s entirely possible that HR or the C-Suite aren’t the ones feeling this pain. We might need to drill down into the organization to find the impact and pain of that problem, but once we do, we can use it to convince the budget holders that the problem is real and is having very real effects on the business.</p> <p>Here are some useful questions to consider (and to have short, compelling answers to):</p> <ul> <li>What do you do?</li> <li>What business problem do you solve?</li> <li>What is the impact of that problem?</li> <li>Who is feeling the pain?</li> <li>What is your differentiator among the competition?</li> <li>What services are you displacing? (In other words, what’s happening today without you help? What is the current negative impact of the pain your client is facing?)</li> </ul> <p>All in all, it was a very successful first meeting! I’m sure I speak for everyone in attendance when I say that we are excited to have many more SIG meetings as good as this first one.</p> <p>A special ‘Thank you!’ goes out to ER-Select (host) and Michelle Campanella (SIG leader) for making this SIG meeting so successful.</p> <p><br></p> https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/4547005 https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/4547005 Fri, 02 Dec 2016 15:03:17 GMT <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Work-Rules-Insights-Inside-Transform/dp/1455554790/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1480691117&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=work+rules" target="_blank"><img src="https://rocatd.org/resources/Pictures/WorkRules51Df4YVLvbL._AC_US160_.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0"></a><br></p> <p>ROCATD colleagues enjoyed a great morning of networking and discussion of Work Rules (Insights from Inside Google). &nbsp;We'd recommend picking-up a copy of the book to read over the holidays. &nbsp;Maybe you will get a couple ideas like we did to implement in 2017.</p> <p>A couple thoughts from our discussion:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Founder mindset</strong> - taking responsibility for your environment</li> <li>Culture eats strategy for breakfast</li> <li><strong>Hire smarter</strong> than you</li> <li>Learning and development - chunk it and practice a lot</li> <li>Googler to Googler (GtoG) - internal experts share their knowledge of work-related subject matter as well as non-work related topics = culture of learning. &nbsp;<strong>Your best teachers are already inside your organization.</strong></li> <li>Culture of innovation, experimentation and analytics</li> <li>Culture defined by <strong>mission</strong> and <strong>voice</strong></li> <li><strong>20% of every team member's time</strong> allocated to what they want to learn, teach and work on = creativity and innovation</li> </ul> <p>If you have read or read the book, share your insights and thoughts with a post. &nbsp;See everyone at our next <a href="https://rocatd.org/" target="_blank">ROCATD event or SIG meeting</a>.</p> <p><br></p> https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/4435820 https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/4435820 Mon, 14 Nov 2016 14:33:21 GMT <p>Follow this link to find out more&nbsp;about the position description, qualifications, and how to apply.</p> <p><a href="https://jobs.utc.com/job/pittsford/technical-trainer/1566/3329830"><u><font color="#0000FF" face="Times New Roman">https://jobs.utc.com/job/pittsford/technical-trainer/1566/3329830</font></u></a></p> <p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p> https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/4385439 https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/4385439 Thu, 10 Nov 2016 21:55:12 GMT <p>See the&nbsp;attached file for more information on the Instructional Designer position open at Wegmans. &nbsp;</p><a href="https://rocatd.org/resources/Documents/Instructional%20Designer%20-%20External%20docx.pdf" target="_blank">Instructional Designer - External docx.pdf</a> https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/4377376 https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/4377376 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 20:15:40 GMT <p>October 12, 2016</p> <p>Dear Training Professional:</p> <p><strong><font style="font-size: 24px;" face="Tahoma, sans-serif">WANTED – TRAINERS and INSTRUCTORS</font></strong></p> <p>WE WANT YOU!

Tom Brady, Founder of the Rochester Chapter of Conscious Capitalism, gave the keynote address. His segment was followed by a panel discussion where Tom was joined by Patty Kaminski of Wegmans Food Markets, and Jim Nortz, and international expert on ethics and compliance. Here is a summary from the meeting.</p> <p>Why Care? Why Now? Can we get there? Is there light at the end of this tunnel?</p> <p>This is how the meeting started, which brought to light the essence of Conscious Capitalism is… it’s a business <i>culture</i> that believes that life and business should hold a deep meaning and profound purpose. It isn’t about the bottom line but about the way we get there which is through cultural empathy.</p> <p>92% of millennials believe that business should be measured by more than just profit and should focus on a societal purpose.</p> <p>The movement for Conscious Capitalism has been increasing by leaps and bounds which is refreshing in this age of greed and immediate gratification. It speaks to the value starting with the employee. When the employee feels valued in the organization, everything else rolls much smoother.</p> <p><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1em;">Engagement improves as well as the impact of trust on the business.</span><br></p> <p>Management can manage bottom up (conscious) or top down (dictate). The goal is to satisfy growth needs of the company through the employee. This “reflection of leadership” value will filter up to the management team and impact the organization positively rather than negatively. The companies who have realized this have been listed in “Firms of Endearment” .</p> <p>In 2007, Wegmans was one of 31 companies in the Firms of Endearment. Today there are over 70. This is a huge kudos to the realization that the success of an organization starts with its’ people. These companies believe that by spending 80-90% of their time developing their people. A high engagement level will reduce turnover which can lead to higher wages which ultimately will improve the bottom line faster than anything else they may do.</p> <p></p> <ul> <li><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1em;">Highly engaged employees identify with the company.</span></li> <li><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1em;">They care passionately about the future of the company.</span></li> <li><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1em;">They bring passion and purpose to their work.</span></li> <li><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1em;">They are willing to invest their discretionary effort to make the company a success. (WANT to…not HAVE to)</span></li> <li><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1em;">They want the company to do the right thing.</span></li> <li><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1em;">They want to feel pride in the way the company behaves.</span></li> </ul><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 1em;">Today is the day of Conscious (the act of being aware with a purpose) Capitalism (of the impact of the conscious activities in a company to its probability of success and growth). It boils down to a single equation: Trust = Relationship x Time.</span><br> <p></p> https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/1531946 https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/1531946 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 15:17:34 GMT <P>GV ASTD sends a special shout-out to several chapter members for their roles in helping ESL Federal Credit Union earn an ASTD BEST Award for the third time in four years.

ESL’s Learning &amp; Development team will use this data to compare our strategy and activities with the best practices of some of the world’s finest organizations.</P> https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/1415858 https://www.rocatd.org/page-904852/1415858 Thu, 26 Sep 2013 01:15:36 GMT <p><b><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">By Christine Herrman, MS, PHR<br></span></b></p> <p><b><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">“Measuring Strategic, Visible and Costly Programs”</span></b> <span style="font-family: &quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">was the focus of GV ASTD’s September 12 meeting, which took place in <a href="http://badfishconsulting.com/" target="_blank">Bad Fish Consulting’s</a> conference space at the Village Gate. TJ Kupchick from Chicago based <a href="http://knowledgeadvisors.com/">Knowledge Advisors</a> delivered the presentation via webinar, while Bob Peters provided the technical interface and facilitated questions and discussion with the live audience in the conference room.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">KnowledgeAdvisors is a leader in learning and talent analytics. Metrics that Matter is a learning analytics system offered by KnowledgeAdvisors which helps organizations measure and improve talent development.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">At the beginning of the webinar, TJ gave us staggering figures showing that an exorbitant amount of money is wasted each year on “scrap learning” – learning that is not able to be applied on the job.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">&nbsp;KnowledgeAdvisors suggests asking two questions when evaluating learning to ensure it is not “scrap”:</span></p> <ol> <li>&nbsp;<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Does the training lead to increased performance? and</span></li> <li>&nbsp;<span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Can we improve the training experience?</span><br></li> </ol><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">By collecting and analyzing data that answers those questions, organizations can cut or improve programs that aren’t providing an impact.</span> <p><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">TJ discussed the five level learning evaluation framework familiar to most learning and development professionals:</span></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Level 0 – Activity, Cost</span></li> <li><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Level 1 – Satisfaction with Learning</span></li> <li><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Level 2 – Learning Effectiveness</span></li> <li><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Level 3 – Job Impact</span></li> <li><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Level 4 – Business Results</span></li> <li><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Level 5 – Return On Investment (ROI)</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Research shows that Levels 0, 1 and 2 are not considered important to senior management; the most important data to senior management regarding learning are Levels 3 through 5. Most organizations do not have the right systems in place to evaluate this data. Surveys can only go so far – we have to find ways to measure results on the job and in the overall business.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">We can begin moving in the right direction by asking Levels 3 through 5 questions on our surveys to turn “smile sheets” into “smart sheets”. Some examples are:</span></p> <ul> <li><b><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Level 3:</span></b> <span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">What percentage of new knowledge and skills learned from this training do you estimate will directly apply to your job?</span></li> <li><b><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Level 4:</span></b> <span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">This training will have a significant impact on which of the following: increasing quality, increasing productivity, increasing employee satisfaction, decreasing costs, increasing sales, increasing customer satisfaction?</span></li> <li><b><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Level 5:</span></b> <span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">What about this class was most useful to you? Provide a tangible example of how you will apply it.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">As a group we discussed the need for follow-up two, three, four months down the road. A question to follow up with would be “Were you able to apply your learning within the first six weeks – why or why not?” One of our colleagues suggested following her model in using a “learning log” in each module, which would ask learners to identify the most memorable and valuable items they had gleaned from that session.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">We talked about the lack of support from management in application of learning and the follow-up, and how important the manager is in this process. One case study TJ shared with the group to help with this is to follow the model of Prep Up, Step Up, Follow Up. Managers should build understanding of expectations and create goals with learners before the learning event, as well as follow up on these with the learners in order to achieve tangible results. Creating accountability around learning impact is paramount. Some tools from this case study were a pre-training impact plan completed with manager/learner, followed with a discussion forum to encourage ongoing interaction with manager/learner and then an application opportunity identification worksheet completed with manager/learner as follow-up.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">One of the key takeaways from this discussion to me was that measurement doesn’t begin after training – there has to be an evaluation plan, just as much as there has to be an implementation plan for the learning. If you don’t know how you’re going to measure what you’re trying to improve, then how will you know if improvement has been made? What’s the point?</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:&quot;Arial Narrow&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;">Thank you to Christine Herrman for writing up this program summary.

"It's a rigorous process involving nine areas of expertise. When you earn a CPLP™ you can be sure you have the range of knowledge to lead and succeed in the workplace learning and performance field," she says.</p> <p>"It's particularly gratifying that three members of my team also achieved their CPLP credential because it signifies that we have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to provide value to our employer, colleagues, and clients," she adds.</p> <p>Three of Kelli’s direct reports at ESL Federal Credit Union all of whom are ASTD members earned CPLP™ certifications in the following areas of expertise:</p> <ul> <li>Yvette Charleton, Training &amp; Performance Specialist, in Delivering Training</li> <li>Jim Darby, Instructional Design, in Designing Learning</li> <li>Julie Demo, Training &amp; Development Specialist, in Delivering Training</li> </ul> <p>ESL encourages its employees to continuously enhance their professional skills by pursuing professional certifications both for their own career development and for the good of ESL and its members. One of the key performance goals in 2012 for Kelli and her team was to achieve the CPLP™ certification from ASTD to enhance the quality of ESL’s learning interventions. "While we're thrilled to earn our CPLP credentials, we recognize this achievement is part of the larger journey of continuous learning and improvement both personally and professionally," says Kelli.</p> <p>"As the association dedicated to the workplace learning and performance profession, ASTD is at the forefront providing information on the critical skills and abilities that practitioners must have to succeed in the field," says Tony Bingham, President of the ASTD Certification Institute. "The CPLP™ credential was built to provide workplace learning professionals a tool with which to increase their knowledge, competence, and confidence while proving their value to employers," he says.</p> <p><b>Learn More about How to Earn Your CPLP™ from Kelli and Her Team</b></p> <p>The GV ASTD chapter will mark the CPLP™ achievements of Kelli and her team by hosting an informal discussion at the Pittsford Farms Dairy, 44 N Main St Pittsford, NY 14534, on Thurs., Nov. 15 from 7:30-9:00 a.m. Learn more about earning a CPLP™ certification from local people who have just completed the process.
