Overview

Back by popular demand!
 
The Fall RFP Learning Lab Series kicks off September 29, 2022 consisting of 6 sessions covering a range of important topics related to RFP’s. In this webinar, the presenters will provide insight into each of the Learning Labs discussing the topic and primary focus of each lab session.
 
Session descriptions on paper or the screen don’t always accurately convey the contents of a course or its purpose. This webinar will be an overview of the RFP process and an opportunity for interested students to determine which lab(s) may benefit them the most.
 
The RFP Learning Lab Series offered twice in 2021 has been retooled based on past attendee feedback. The most significant change is the combining of sessions into a single 4 hour block. This reduces the number of sessions to 6 and will allow the instructors to include more material by gaining additional instructional time.


What You'll Learn

After completing this online training session, learners will be able to:
 
1.  Understand which learning lab(s) meet their training needs
2.  Gain insight in possible opportunities to address practice gaps
3.  Provide a possible foundation when considering expanding the use of RFP in an organization
