Registration Deadline: TUE. 11/9/21

The Graduate! Network will be hosting a virtual Forward Together Ambassador training on November 9 and 10 from 12:00-12:45 pm.

This training is a part of the Minnesota Forward Together initiative. Minnesota has partnered with The Graduate! Network to recruit and train local volunteer ambassadors to encourage their friends, neighbors, and colleagues to enroll in or to return to college or workforce training and complete their programs.

With support from the National Governor’s Association Innovations Grant, the Ambassadors will be trained on not only higher education, but also Adult Basic Education integrated programs, state supported workforce training programs, and accessing workforce or career services – ensuring a centralized source of information for Minnesotans. For staff currently working with adult learners, the training and toolkit provide great resource links and information that can be integrated into our daily work

Ambassadors will have training and support in this work. Being an Ambassador might involve face-to-face conversations, sharing information via social media, or exploring other ways that make sense for their community. The program is flexible and the possibilities for making a real impact are almost limitless!
