Walk away with fresh, ready-to-use ideas that prove impactful learning doesn’t require a big budget—just smart design, collaboration, and curiosity.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify creative, low-cost ways to introduce learning and development opportunities within their organizations—without adding to 
  their own workload.
• Apply practical frameworks and conversation starters to engage leaders, managers, and employees in shared ownership
  of training and growth. 
• Collaborate in breakout discussions to generate new ideas and action steps tailored to their company’s size, resources, and culture.
