| CIASTD to Recognize ASTD Employee Learning Week 2006: December 4-8 |
Press Release from ASTD
To increase awareness about the strategic value of workplace learning, the American Society for Training & Development has declared Employee Learning Week, December 4-8, 2006, as an opportunity for business and government leaders to recognize the importance of employee learning and development, and to close the gap between workers’ skills and today’s job requirements.
“To be successful in the global economy, business leaders must understand the important connection between building a highly skilled workforce and achieving organizational results,” says Tony Bingham, ASTD President and CEO. “Through ASTD’s annual State of the Industry Report, our research shows that organizations continue to invest in employee learning and development, and technology is playing a larger role in delivering learning to the workforce,” he notes. “Increasingly, organizational leaders realize that the most important asset in our knowledge economy is talent, and a skilled workforce is the key to realizing results. We encourage all organizations to recognize Employee Learning Week 2006, and the strategic value of lifelong learning,” Bingham adds.
The
6 Ds
On October 27th, CIASTD members were proud to welcome Roy Pollock of the Fort Hill Company and coauthor of the book, The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning. Roy’s presentation, filled with engaging activities, focused on improving the value that training and development delivers to companies.
Participant Comments
“I liked the simple approach to highlighting six disciplines that improve learning outcomes.”
"I learned “to discuss business outcomes more than learning outcomes.”
"I learned “to plan for follow-up from the beginning, not after the fact.”
“Training transfer is the unmet need for organizations and I feel represents the best way for learning to be supported more.”
“The material and topic was very relevant and the solutions were concrete.”
Over 90% of the participants who were surveyed following the program felt it provided new information and insights that would be valuable to their practice.
For more information on our monthly programs, please look for the December issue of the Facilitator which will highlight upcoming programs in 2007.
