Innisbrook, Palm Harbor, FL
The AFC is pleased to offer, in collaboration with Alpha UMi, 5G Power Skills for College Professionals. This is the first workshop in the new AFC CCP CORE+ Workshop series . The cornerstone of 5G Power Skills Certification is the competency to understand and capitalize upon generational and dimensional diversity differences, attributes and world views. 5G’s Dimensional Diversity is the foundation for breaking down biases and stereotypes to create a diversity-neutral, culturally-rich, productive and engaged workforce. With this foundation in place an individual is prepared for success in the mastery of all competencies of 5G Power Skills Certification: Diversity and Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Professionalism, and Leadership/Management.
CCP CORE+ Workshops are a new addition to the AFC’s Certified College Professional (CCP) program. These one day workshops will offer innovative and cutting edge professional development opportunities to AFC members. Some CORE+ Workshops (like 5G Power Skills) are open to both current CCP program participants and non-participants.
Here's why you should consider registering for this workshop:
• Low registration fee: $49 for both CCP and non-CCP participants.
• Flexible CCP credits: 10 CCP credits will be earned and can be used toward either the “Professional Development” or “Other” category.
• Retroactive CCP credits: Participants not currently enrolled in the CCP program and who apply for the CCP program by 12/31/19 may count these credits toward the 100 point requirement of the CCP Florida College Professional Certification.
• Incentive to enroll in the CCP program: Participants not currently enrolled in the CCP program will receive a $25 discount toward the CCP application fee if they apply to the CCP program by 12/31/19.
• Earn your first Badge toward 5G Power Skills Certification.
