recognize the achievements of your organization - nominate an accelerated practice

Would you like the opportunity to share the great things happening in workforce development in your state or region with workforce professionals across the country? Dynamic Works is sponsoring our first annual Accelerated Practices Retreat and we want to engage participation from you!

Accelerated Practices Retreat
September 24, 2004
The Rosen Plaza Hotel, Orlando, FL

Rather than having attendees just hear or read about best practices, this event will create a nationwide community of practice to assist organizations who wish to replicate best practices in their area. Accelerated Practices submissions not only outline the practice but include the return on investment, lessons learned, an implementation plan, and a staff member who has agreed to act as an online mentor to assist those who wish to replicate these practices in their organization.

This one day retreat will highlight case studies of the top Accelerated Practices in our profession with a business focus on critical workforce investment and development issues. Finalists will be selected by a team of national workforce experts and will be presenting the top ten winning nominations throughout the retreat. One finalist and one runner up will be eligible to receive significant cash and training awards.

Participation will ensure you will have an excellent opportunity to:
>> Share innovative and proven workforce programs from your state or region
>> Identify Accelerated Practices upon which to model initiatives and programs
>> Network by building a community of practice with others in your expertise field
>> Learn of emerging key trends and funding opportunities
>> Compete for cash and training awards

Recognize innovative and proven workforce programs by submitting a state or regional nomination today! For more information contact us at 321-637-1859 or events@dynamicinstitute.com, or visit our web site at www.dynamicinstitute.com/events/ap/

beta member highlight - Kathy Shirey

When I was offered the job as a CareerLink Specialist last May, I was told that I would have to complete the Dynamic Works certification in order to pass my probation for the job. Undaunted, I accepted the challenge and joined Alle-Kiski CareerLink, one of Pennsylvania's 90 comprehensive one-stop centers. Dynamic Works gave me a much-needed overview of what had been happening and, more importantly, what should be happening, in a one-stop system.

I found the information provided in the courses to be interesting and relevant - and I wanted more! I completed several more courses, which allowed me to take the National Tier 1 certification exam. Now, the bug had really bitten! Our Dynamic Works coordinator saw that I found the information valuable, and she asked if I might be interested in the Beta Member program. I went to the website and read some past issues of the newsletter to find out more. I read about how I could preview the courses for Tier 2 and 3; I was excited and I called right away. Bill Herrmann welcomed me to the team, and I wasted no time starting on the Tier 2 classes.

Unfortunately, life has been busy as I am also completing my MBA in the evenings. It has taken me quite a while, but I'll soon finish Tier 2. The education I've picked up through the Dynamic Works training courses is the best job-relevant training I have had! Being a beta member is fun as well. I used to just read the material, now I really look at the content of the material (and watch for proofing errors too!). Because I see courses that my co-workers don't, I recommend other courses to my colleagues when I see a course that they might like.

I plan to complete the Tier 2 certification exam soon, and then off to Tier 3! But when I saw the list of courses that are being developed dealing more with employer customers, I can see I'll be busy with Dynamic Works courses for a long time to come!
