Feedback from our Training Participants:
“Training was great, user friendly; trainers were very mindful of all participants; group chats were awesome…”
“I LOVED the breakout groups. I did not think that would have been possible it added a key component to be able to relate with peers.”
“I loved that this training was virtual. The use of technology and the ability to divide us into groups virtually was outstanding. I would love a continuation of virtual training even after the current pandemic. I know I have been interested in other training done by your organization, but distance occasionally impacts my ability to attend.
“Culture Connections used the virtual training in a way that created connectedness and learning. The training was wonderful.”
