Mind the gap: Advancing the workforce through association education
Do you know what education your association needs to offer to help emerging, mid-career and senior professionals both get and keep jobs in your industry? What evidence do you have to signal that your current learning programs are meeting this need? How can you better leverage your learning programs to support member career development? This session explores the importance of gathering 360-degree feedback about your association’s education portfolio, elements of a successful gap analysis, how to proactively fill those gaps to advance both the workforce and the profession, how to evolve and adapt to the learner needs, and how to mindfully connect learning offerings to best support each learner’s journey. Four speakers – a professional development consultant, a credentialing guru, a community-building specialist and a professional learning leader – provide their varied perspectives, first-hand experiences and sage advice.
Featured speakers:
- AARON WOLOWIEC, MSA, CAE, CMP, CLEA, CTA, CTF/QT, CEO Event Garde
- COLLEEN LOEFFLER, CAE, MNA, Director CompTIA AIT
- KEITH SEGUNDO, President/CEO Limitless Association Solution Resource
- VERONICA DIAZ, PHD, CAE, Director EDUCAUSE
