Recent years have witnessed a number of exciting trends in the field of training and development, including greater attention to aligning learning strategy with corporate priorities, the utilization of an increasingly diverse blend of learning options (e.g., traditional, technology, informal), and growing interest in measuring the impact of investments in learning. In this webcast, CAHRS will hold an interactive discussion designed to examine these and other trends currently shaping the field of training and development. Professor and Director of ILR Executive Education Brad Bell will draw on both the training literature and his work with CAHRS partners to analyze the critical challenges and opportunities that currently exist within training and development and to consider future directions for the field. At the end of the webcast, there will be an opportunity for CAHRS members to share their own insights and challenges. Steve Miranda, Managing Director of the Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies (CAHRS) and Managing Director ILR Executive Education, Cornell University, ILR School will serve as moderator for this webcast.
