Tailored Training
We also provide workshops tailored to the specific records practices and requirements of your office. Tailored training integrates elements of our standard workshops with information relevant to your agency's unique records management concerns and your time constraints. Working with you, we determine the training needs of your office and customize our training to meet your needs. We can explain your office's specific records management policies and resources and adapt materials to apply to your own situation. Onsite tailored training can be more cost-effective than sending multiple staff to our general workshops.
To reinforce the tailored workshops, we can also schedule visits with individual offices after the training to answer questions and address specific issues.
For further information, contact Bill Greathouse at 206-336-5145.
