IAP2 Bridge Training Opportunity: Getting from the past to the present has never been so smooth!
In 2023, IAP2 launched an updated training curriculum known as the P2 Learning Pathway (LP). At the core of LP in Canada is the Certificate in Public Participation. After taking the certificate, practitioners can access numerous specialized courses tailored to the diverse professional development needs. The LP offers a number of updated and practical frameworks and principles for leading edge engagement practice today.
The Great Lakes Chapter is offering a one-hour lunch and learn to help build a bridge from the older training to the most recent LP. To learn about the changes and/or take specialized courses (like facilitation, working with conflict, and making meaning in engagement), you can opt to watch a one-hour transition video. Instead, why not join with colleagues to hear firsthand the changes and share stories to bring them to life?
This session is for you if:
- you took IAP2 training prior to 2023, such as the 3-day Planning for Effective Public Participation course, or the 5-day Foundations in Public Participation Program (prerequisite for attendance),
- and you’re curious about the updates.
- and/or you’d like to access the new specialized training courses.
This session is not for you if:
- You have already completed the new Certificate in P2, the Fundamentals of P2 and Engagement course, the IAP2 Way in Challenging Contexts course, or
- You have not previously taken an IAP2 course.
