Spring Forecast: Training in 2022 and Beyond

Hello, nonprofit and community leaders! I want to introduce myself and share a bit of a news forecast about OKCNP’s Spring learning calendar. 

I joined OKCNP’s Programs team in the Tulsa office in August as the new Senior Manager of Learning and Consulting. I am thrilled to be working with nonprofits on learning, training, facilitation and the deep community work that keeps our state going.

Looking Forward

While we collectively missed the experience of in-person learning over the past 18 months, virtual learning accelerated accessibility and equity in ways we could not have imagined and will not ignore. Most notably, we saw increased participation from those outside of Tulsa and Oklahoma City in a critical time for our communities, state and country—and our courses are better for it today.

As we lean into 2022, the Learning and Professional Development team at OKCNP is offering great opportunities for organizations and individuals to grow their capacity. 

Our Continued Commitment to Inclusive Learning

We will continue to offer online and hybrid courses while we also reintroduce in-person learning in March and April. 

We will continue the launch and development of our learning management system, SkillSpark, which will allow your staff to engage with hundreds of training sessions online, anytime.

We will continue to explore and address educational needs in the context of equity (including geographical).

We will continue to expand core course offerings in multiple formats and times throughout the training season.

We will continue to develop learning and training by soliciting and incorporating your feedback and input.

As you look over the Spring calendar, what do you want to be involved in? What do your organization and staff need to be involved in? 

We welcome your input as we finalize the calendar.Share your thoughts with me about which courses you’d like to see offered in-person and virtually at jmanry@okcnp.org.

With warmth and gratitude for your work and your continued commitment to learning and development,
