Who should attend PeerSpectives facilitator training?
Future facilitators of PeerSpectives roundtables are required to be trained by the Edward Lowe Foundation under an active license. First-year licenses include training for one person; cost is $400 each for additional trainees or those wanting a refresher when renewing a license in the future.
Individuals who will be marketing your roundtables are encouraged to attend PeerSpectives training. They’ll receive invaluable knowledge for developing marketing materials and answering questions from prospective members.
Anyone who leads group meetings will benefit. Individuals seeking professional development may receive training for $900 per person. Because a PeerSpectives license is required to run roundtables, contact us if facilitation opportunities arise in the future (training is not refundable).
What does PeerSpectives facilitator training involve?
- Training begins with introductions and an orientation. Included is a look at second-stage companies, and the qualities you should be aware of when offering services to them.
- The PeerSpectives protocol is examined in detail. Learning is conducted through videos, presentations and practice in small groups and individually.
- Throughout the training, attendees participate in small and large group discussions. The foundation focuses on second-stage companies and creates programs to benefit their growth. For that reason, PeerSpectives training assumes roundtable participants will be second-stage business owners, CEOs or presidents; however, the protocols may be adapted for other audiences.
The next virtual training is scheduled for: May 7-9, 2024
Please contact Joy or Rita for details.
Testimonial
PeerSpectives benefits our organization in a variety of ways. For one thing, it’s enabled me to get in front of people I might not see otherwise and introduce them to additional SBDC resources.
