MicroTest Training
Staff will host training on MicroTest performance and outcomes in June 2008. This two-day, hands-on session gives programs the skills and tools they need to incorporate performance management into their program using MicroTest. This training is required for programs joining MicroTest, and is available as a refresher course for all current members. The MicroTest training session is scheduled for Thursday, June 19 and Friday, June 20, 2008 at the Aspen Institute offices on Dupont Circle, Washington, DC. Who should attend?  

The training fee is $2,000 per organization. This includes the annual membership fee for 2008, all membership and training materials and the in-person training of up to three program representatives. Also included is breakfast and lunch both days of training, plus dinner Thursday evening. Attendees are responsible for airfare, hotel and other costs related to training attendance.

MicroTest Webcasts
Annually, MicroTest offers a series of Webcasts designed to make participating in MicroTest easier. Webcast sessions related to MicroTest Program Performance provide a detailed look at each worksheet in the Excel workbook, helpful hints for completion, and a question and answer period. Each Webcast lasts approximately 1 hour. These sessions are a great way to introduce new staff to MicroTest and also provide a valuable refresher to experienced members.

Six weekly sessions are delivered live, but also are recorded and archived on-line for future reference by members. These Webcasts are currently only available to MicroTest members. For more information about becoming a member, contact david.black@aspeninst.org
