New Programs Update!

Contact Centre Skill Development
Digital transformation has changed the contact centre and member experience landscape.

This 5-module contact centre skill development series will give learners the knowledge to provide a great member experience, engaging learners through videos, activities and credit union case studies. Learners will apply their new skills with exercises and worksheets that test their understanding. The first module is now OPEN FOR REGISTRATION. Want more details? View our brochure, or click here to see a short video.

New Branch Manager Program
The role of a new branch manager can be as exciting as it is challenging. There is a lot to learn in a short period of time: branch operations, compliance regimes, branch and team leadership. New branch managers are often juggling competing priorities, new virtual (rather than face-to-face) reporting lines with their supervisor, and constant change. Effectively identifying priorities, scheduling time goals and caring for the member, the team and themselves can be a struggle.

The New Branch Manager Development Program is a toolbox to address these issues and more! View our brochure for more information. REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
