Training Paths |

What are training paths?
The Davison Group can provide training for your organization in single or multiple subject areas. Our training path structure organizes seminars that work togetherto help you build mastery. The path structure provides an ideal opportunity for you to learn tools and techniques that you can apply in your workplace.
What are the advantages to continuing your training through an entire path?
Taking advantage of multiple seminars in a path gives you the benefit of training in which concepts build logically on and reinforce each other. Our training is designed to be leveraged every day, not to sit on a shelf, and the continuum of learning in each path is specifically constructed to maximize the power and value of your acquired knowledge.
For example, in certain paths you may be given assignments applicable to your organization to complete between sessions. You may be given the opportunity to share your work and findings with the group for further feedback and learning that will directly benefit both you and your organization. Your mentor will give you one-on-one feedback. This will offer immense added value and your best opportunity to directly apply what you learn to your responsibilities and your organization.
May I select training from a number of different paths?
Certainly. TDI offers customized, on-site training for virtually any type of organization, agency, or business. We can package seminars and training paths in many different ways to address your organization’s training needs.

What seminars are offered?
Please view the Seminars page
for a list of all TDI seminars currently offered.
Who can take a seminar?
Training is open to all, from front line staff to supervisors and managers, from executive directors and CEOs to board members.
Are there any prerequisites?
Most seminars have none. When prerequisites exist, they are noted in the schedule and seminar descriptions. For example, the three Benchmarking seminars in the Organizational Performance path are sequential (1 is a prerequisite for 2, and 2 is a prerequisite for 3).
What if I’d like training in an area I don’t see listed?
Feel free to contact us if you'd like training in an area you
do not see listed (see our Contact page.) We are happy to take suggestions to help shape
our future seminar content. We also offer customized, on-site training for specific organizational needs.
Can I take individual seminars, or must I complete an entire
path?
You are not required to sign up for all seminars in a path unless specifically noted in the registration material, though in most cases training path completion will be highly beneficial in building expertise in an operational area. Participants who complete the seminars for an entire path will receive certificates noting their accomplishment.

What if I need more information about seminar content?
Feel free to contact us at any time if you require more information.
We will be happy to provide additional detail. Our Contact page
will give you all the information you need to get in touch with
us.
Will mentors be available to answer questions before or
after seminars?
Yes. We will contact you before training begins to discuss responsibilities and any specific workplace situations you hope to address in training. Feel free to use that opportunity to pose any questions you have, or contact us at any other time. We are happy to be of help.
Is assistance available for me to tackle issues specific
to my workplace?
Yes.
Relevance to your work is a basic tenet of TDI training. We will contact alll participants prior to the training to gather information about any specific workplace issues.
What do I need to bring with me to training?
An energized spirit and an inquisitive mind. Notepads and pens will be provided. Some mentors may ask you to bring non-confidential work product to use during training. You will be notified of this during the registration process. Additionally, some training that builds on previous seminars within the path may ask you to complete an assignment related to your organization and bring it to the next session.
You are welcome to bring material from your workplace for feedback from our mentors.
