While COVID-19 impacts all, it makes training and business education as important as ever. The world continues to turn and while business doesn’t “go on as usual,” it must … go on.
The Indiana Chamber is committed to delivering educational and compliance training to employers and their team members. What is different? The format (many are going virtual), as well as the date in some instances.
“We’ll provide a number of virtual training/webinars between now and September 1 when our conference center is scheduled to open again,” remarks Kerri Begley, vice president of business education and events. “As businesses adapt to the uncertainties of the pandemic, we’re adjusting our offerings to accommodate them.”
Last week, the Chamber conducted its annual Human Resources Conference remotely – a first in the event’s 56-year history. More than 40 on-demand sessions from that conference remain accessible online until August 1.
Several webinars will take place in the coming months. First up is Anticipate, Adapt, Analyze: Crisis Communications Planning in the Era of COVID-19 on May 14. Stay tuned for more topics.
