North Dakota school professionals are invited to attend RUReadyND and Compass in-person training workshops this fall. These beginner-level training sessions provide the essential knowledge and tools to begin using these online platforms with students.

This includes counselors, career advisors, teachers, work-based learning (WBL) coordinators, administrators, and anyone else who would benefit from the training.
The sessions will explore a variety of topics and resources, including career assessments, an introduction to WBL and Compass, postsecondary planning, lesson plans, reporting tools, plans of study options, and more.
All workshops are held 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
