This presentation will share ABC's teaching philosophy and provide a detailed look at the training we offer to practitioners who host our popular UP Skills for Work program. We will look at withholding judgment, confidentiality, validating learner experiences, incorporating adult learning theory and other key concepts. We will also have a five-to-10-minute discussion with participants about their own best practices.

Learning Outcomes:
  • How does adult learning theory fit into career development;
