Back by popular demand and newly updated, the course will enhance your dispatcher's skill set through group exercises, self-assessment tools and discussion groups. It's a great opportunity for them to develop their own professional network as well. Corporate training expert Nancy Bandy of TRAINSITIONS will lead the program.
