Staff Training and Development

NORWELD offers full members a variety of customizable, on-site staff training sessions that vary in length according to your needs. Training is also available at the NORWELD office, if applicable. This is a complimentary service for all full-member NORWELD libraries, up to eight hours annually.

What does this entail? That's up to you! NORWELD can work with you to develop and implement events based on your needs, whether it's staff development, focus group facilitation, or other areas where your imagination takes you! Training can be structured to fit your specific requirements.

Let us help you plan your next staff development day. NORWELD staff will assist with identifying and coordinating speakers and experts to meet your unique requests. We will also customize training to facilitate a quality educational experience for you and your team at a reasonable cost.

Please see below for additional fee information.
