Minimum Qualifications:Best Practice & Group Discussion

 

PTC-NC’s next free training forum will focus on “minimum qualifications” (MQs). Our speakers, Karen Coffee, Bryan Baldwin and Tina Pruett, will cover some fundamental issues on the topic:

Where did MQs come from and why?

What are the pros and cons of MQs?

Where are we today with MQs in light of modern assessment?

Can they still be used effectively as part of a selection system?

After the presentation, the speakers will open the floor to group discussion regarding MQ best practices in organizations. We look forward to your participation and unique perspective on the topic! Lunch will be provided.
