Virtual training series for OCAN leads, trainers and coaches
Event date: -
Event type: Single day (a day or less)
About the training series
Does your organization have a designated Ontario Common Assessment of Need (OCAN) lead, trainer or coach regularly facilitating activities that support the completion and use of quality OCANs? This approach is key to effectively using this person-centred, evidence-based assessment to help identify and address client needs.
Join this two-part, train-the-trainer webinar series specifically for OCAN leads, trainers and coaches. If your organization does not have such a designated role, you can send the appropriate person(s) to bring the information back and develop a training strategy.
The focus of these two-session, interactive, virtual series is to demonstrate how OCAN leads, trainers and coaches can facilitate activities described in resource materials developed in 2022.
