State of the Industry Report

The Association for Talent Development recently released the 2014 State of the Industry report. 

Join us on January 9, 2015 as incoming Tulsa Chapter President, Skip Eller, presents an executive summary of the report. Highlights will include overall spending trends in employee learning, trends in content distribution and delivery, and the continued impact of technology. Using survey data from local members, there will be framework and opportunity for discussion of local trends and practices as well. This is a great opportunity to see how your organization is positioned relative to our industry as a whole. It will also provide an opportunity for reflection on your own professional and career development progress. In conclusion, Skip will provide a brief summary of his vision for the future of your ATD Tulsa Chapter, and how the organization can support your professional growth and knowledge in 2015. 

Remember, we want this to be the one monthly professional meeting you don’t want to miss!
