Join us for our upcoming events! 

As we're slowly emerging from the pandemic, your ATD West Virginia Chapter is working hard to bring new learning opportunities your way, and we'd love to see you at one of our upcoming webinars. Each webinar will feature a guest presenter that is an expert in the topic, and we know that each member will get a value from our offerings.

Remember that free access to webinars is a valuable benefit of chapter membership! If you're due to renew and curious if being a member is worth it, consider that when you factor in your annual National ATD membership discount, your chapter membership costs less than a cup of coffee a month! For that small amount, you get access to a network of peers statewide and a series of engaging content that will bring you value.

Not from West Virginia? That's ok. Due to our geographic diversity, we offer most of our programming virtually. We're happy to accept new members from other states outside of West Virginia! 

If there is a topic you'd like to see, email Rob Hoitt at robhoitt(at)gmail.com and let him know what you'd like to see. We're working on scheduling our Fall and Winter events now.

  • ATD Webinar - Make your Professional Development Goals Achievable

    • Tuesday, August 24, 2021
    • 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (EDT)
    • Virtual via Zoom
    Register

    For many of you, developing others is your passion but in doing so, your own progression in your role and in your career may be unclear, has stalled, or is non-existent. ATD released the Talent Development Capability Model in an interactive model you can use to assess your place against industry-researched and accepted knowledge and skills to help determine where you need to go and how to get there. It’s the gap assessment, personalized learning plan, and tracker-- all rolled into one tool that helps to clear your path and motivate you toward your professional development goals. Everyone has their own career aspirations—more responsibility, more money, more expertise. The free interactive model can help marry the aspirations with where you are now to help you achieve your own professional development goals. And if you’ve been interested in achieving the APTD or CPTD certifications, join us to learn more about benefits of earning a talent development credential.

    This session will cover:

    ·          Participants will come away with an understanding of how societal forces and business changes are requiring professionals to adopt new approaches and upgrade skills to keep pace.

    ·          Participants will be able to apply the common language from a network of global practitioners to their own experiences and informal/formal education to assess and compare strengths and weaknesses that will become a factor in achieving their own career aspirations.

    ·          Participants will have the opportunity to build a learning plan for a sample practitioner and in doing so, gain the ability to apply their own gap assessment results and aspirations into generating their own plan.

    ·          Participants will understand the policy and concepts behind two talent development certifications, how to apply, how to prepare, and the benefits of earning a credential.
