Northland Community & Technical College’s Center for Outreach & Innovation is now taking registrations for a spring workshop: “Productive Meetings, Productive Projects.” This 8 hour workshop will be held from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., on April 16 and 23, 2010, in Room 703 at the Thief River Falls campus. The class cost is $125, with a materials cost of $15, for a total of $140.

This course provides students with a strong foundation regarding how to successfully improve the effectiveness of meetings. Why does this matter? Because poorly run meetings lead to loss of stakeholder engagement, lost productivity time, sinking morale and lower profit margins.

Participants of the “Productive Meetings, Productive Projects” 2-part course will learn guidelines and techniques for identifying stakeholders, crafting effective agendas, managing time, leading discussions, facilitating decision-making, managing conflict and maintaining accountability. All participants will receive copies of templates used in class.

The deadline to register is April 2, 2010. To register, contact Jenna Grabowska by calling 218-683-8649, or email jenna.grabowska@northlandcollege.edu.

NCTC’s Center for Outreach & Innovation is offering to the public several continuing education course offerings this spring; both on-line and at the Thief River Falls campus. For a complete course listing, visit www.northlandcollege.edu/business_industry.
