Facilitation training offered through UMaine Hutchinson Center

Registration is open for a facilitation training through the University of Maine Hutchinson Center’s professional development program. 

Strengthening Your Facilitation Skills, an in-person program, will be held May 5, 19 and June 2 from 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. This training will help people who need to help a new group get started, guide a group to solve a problem, or help a group deal with conflict. Two Continuing Education Units (CEUs)/20 contact hours are available through this training. The cost is $425 per person. More information is available on the Hutchinson Center website.

The program is designed to benefit analysts, community-based groups, consultants, educators/teachers, executives, managers, municipal officials, nonprofit organizations, trainers, sales professionals and others whose professional and/or community work involves working with groups to achieve results.

Early registration is recommended as spots are limited. A limited number of need-based scholarships are available for people who live or work in Knox or Waldo counties.
