SWCHRS Learning Communities bring people together in higher education (administrators, faculty and students), government, and industry to learn in ways that are practical, applied, and immediately useful. In higher education, this includes students, faculty, and staff who are strengthening their skills for teaching, leadership, student support, and organizational practice. Rather than focusing only on concepts, these learning spaces emphasize hands-on skill-building around issues of human conflict and resolution, with attention to real workplace demands and outcomes. In practice, that means participants can expect:
-
Practice-oriented learning grounded in real-world scenarios and case applications
-
Evidence-informed models, tools, and frameworks that translate into day-to-day work
-
Job-relevant competency development aligned with workforce development needs
-
Structured opportunities for skill rehearsal, facilitation practice, and feedback
-
Take-away strategies and routines participants can implement immediately in their roles and organizations
-
A focus on measurable outcomes that strengthen performance and increase impact in complex settings
