Effective Instructional Design to Close Skill Gaps
Workshop
Co-presenting with Dr R. Lance Hogan
Occupational training programs should be designed to close the skills gap by effectively preparing learners for work.

This session will feature an overview of the DACUM system of curriculum development, which includes:
