Fundamentals of Travel Training Administration |
About the Course
This free online course is designed to provide information pertinent to launching, operating and maintaining a travel training program. The growth of travel training services in the last decade has been impressive as many organizations see the value in teaching people to use public transportation. Since 2009, ESPA has offered the Introduction to Travel Training course, and learners have told us of their interest in learning more about administrative issues, such as creating job descriptions; hiring, training and supervising travel trainer; developing budgets; and understanding the family of travel training services that are offered throughout the country. This course will give learners the opportunity to consider these fundamental administrative issues and take action within their own organizations. Individuals who may find this course useful are:
