Nicholson & Associates creates training methods that enable people to make long-term changes in the way they work with children, youth, and families. We are unique in that we go beyond good organization and motivational speaking. These qualities are important in any training and create satisfied participants for the short term. However, long lasting changes require additional services.
Nicholson & Associates' training services include:
- An individualized assessment and curriculum to fit your agency's specific needs;
- Interaction with participants . (Research has shown that when adult trainees are actively involved in their own learning, they retain information at a 95% level and are able to apply the learning to their jobs.)
- Short lectures interspersed with relevant activities;
- Immediate application of new knowledge and skills in the training;
- Training offered through sequential sessions over a designated period to enable participants to apply what they have learned.
