Professional Development Programs
Our programming is at the heart of the ATD Smoky Mountain Chapter. We strive to address the professional development needs and interests of our members and those who are interested in learning more about workplace development and performance.
Through our monthly meetings, we offer access to subject matter experts, professional speakers, and trainers. Our programs are suitable for certification and recertification approval for professional associations based on the ATD Talent Development Capability Model.
