Partnerships: An Essential Piece of the TRAIN Learning Network

In May, more than 75 representatives from various TRAIN Learning Network affiliates and partners came together to share ideas on how to better serve the workforce through partnerships and collaboration within agencies, between organizations, and with community partners. Partnership discussions crossed disciplines ranging from preparedness and emergency response to serving veteran populations and their families. The meeting celebrated the partnerships and collaborations within the TRAIN Learning Network and the impressive results:

An individual registers on TRAIN every two minutes.
TRAIN learners complete three courses every minute.
There are now more than 72,000 courses offered throughout the network.

Every day - together - the partners, content providers, and learners on the TRAIN Learning Network work together to create a competent public health, healthcare, behavioral health, preparedness, emergency response, and population health workforce.
