    This webcast will explore highlights and data from the upcoming report from ATD Research, How Does Your Pay Stack Up? 2017 Talent Development Salary, Compensation, Benefit and Job Seeker Report. This study takes a close look at the salary and benefits of talent development professionals across the United States.

    Some questions that the study explores include:

    • Who works as a talent development professional? The study looked at gender, educational attainment, and experience.
    • Where do talent development professionals work? Which industries hire the most talent development professionals? How large are the companies that hire them?
    • What is the typical talent development professional paid? How has their pay changed over the past two years?
    • How do talent development professionals spend their time? What is their span of control?
    • What benefits are offered and which benefits are valued the most by talent development professionals?
    • How do talent development professionals look for, research, and choose new jobs?

    Join us for a preview of the results from the 2017 ATD salary survey. Maria Ho will describe the key takeaways from the study, and Sue Kaiden will share her thoughts on job seeking and salary negotiation strategies.

    For learning and development teams, these are the most important weeks of any employee’s tenure:

    • the first two, when knowledge transfer is critical for getting new hires up to speed
    • the last two, when it’s imperative to preserve a departing employee’s institutional knowledge.

    Increasingly, organizations are using technology to usher employees through these key weeks. In this webcast, we’ll explore seven examples of how video can be used in these initiatives, along with the specifics of how your team can implement similar capabilities. You’ll:

    • Identify trends in how organizations are supporting onboarding programs with video.
    • Identify trends in how organizations are using video to scale knowledge management and capture more institutional expertise with departing employees.
    • Learn how video can be implemented or facilitated to enable its use as part of formal onboarding and offboarding programs.

    This year’s theme is Expanding Our Reach from Local to Global

    • How do you stay in tune with the continued globalization of organizations? 
    • How do you keep up with how people learn when so much of it is learned in different ways through the use of technology and outside of classrooms? 
    • How do we keep growing and developing our own professional needs?

    In this session, we will look at how we can bridge the learning gaps across time zones and across different cultures. The ways we approach learning are very different than they were even a decade ago. In order to keep our practices current, we must stay ahead of this technological evolution, and that starts with getting the most out of today’s technology. Learn from top leaders who work through the people gaps, the diversity issues, and the technology to deliver world class learning.

    The popular format of year’s past returns with a new slate of Speed Learning SMEs, keynote speaker, networking, and an afternoon mini-hackathon diving deeper into the theme.

    The Association for Talent Development is offering a certificate course in Kirkland this April. This course will build your professional knowledge and skills, and expand your network.

    The ATD Training Certificate content is practical and grounded in the real world, not just academic theory. This program focuses on what happens before, during, and after you deliver training, and what to do if training is not the right solution. With input from ATD’s Competency Study, we identified the competencies required by the most successful practitioners. The Training Certificate Program is aligned with the Training Delivery Area of Expertise in the ATD Competency Model.

    Learner feedback indicates high value in the following areas: student engagement, expert facilitation, and applicable tools and techniques.

    Why You Should Attend:

    Learn the basics of adult learning theory and instructional design methodology.

    Gain a foundation in conducting a needs assessment, developing learning objectives, and evaluating the impact of your training initiatives.

    Learn and apply effective training techniques for managing participants, engaging a variety of learning styles, creating an effective positive learning environment, and managing classroom challenges.

    Develop engaging training solutions that are learner-centered.

    What to Expect:

    Pre-Work: Complete a self-assessment and read an industry article titled, "Do's and Don'ts for the New Trainer."

    Homework: You may find it necessary to do some preparation for your skills practice outside of the classroom.

    Supplemental Resources: This program includes tools and templates to help you apply what you learned on the job.
