Trainer's Institute (TI) is a four-part learning series with each session focusing on a core area of talent development, including Learning Technologies, Instructional Design, Training Delivery, and Evaluating Impact. 

Trainer's Institute is the premier development opportunity in the Omaha area for anyone new to the talent development field or those looking to enhance and level up their skills. 

Each session will be facilitated live in-person and hosted at a different area business. Registration opens first to participants opting to attend the entire series. Registration for individual sessions opens later in the summer, pending seat availability. Your best deal is to register for the whole series while early bird pricing is available!    

All sessions start at 9 a.m. and will end no later than 3 p.m.
