2016 – 2017 Education Events

Request for Proposal

We are looking to fill our Education events for August – November 2016 and February – June 2017. Some of our best opportunities to learn come from our peers – from those who have forged a path and have lessons learned to share with others. We’d like to encourage you to volunteer to share your experiences during a talent development session at an ATD Central Iowa Education event. This is a great opportunity to support the development of others through informative sessions that provide opportunities to network and share ideas and best practices.

Think about how talent development reaches all areas of your organization, and use this to create an engaging presentation that will help others see how talent development connects associates through sustained learning.

We are asking your presentation fit into one of the ATD Areas of Expertise listed below:

1. Integrated Talent Management, Managing Learning Programs, and Knowledge Management

Examples of topics may include: Succession Planning, Performance Analysis, Establishing a Strategy and/orVision

2. Performance Improvement, Change Management, and Coaching

Examples of topics may include: Conducing Performance Analysis, Effective Feedback Techniques, Questioning Techniques

3. Training Delivery, Instructional Design, Learning Technologies, Evaluating Learning Impact

Examples of topics may include: Learning Methodologies, Applying Learning Theory, Integrating Technology Options

* Visit the ATD Competency Model here for more information on the Areas of Expertise.
