Easter Seals Project ACTION's Introduction to Travel Training course is a free training initiative to increase the skills, knowledge and abilities of travel training professionals.
Training people to use public transportation is a challenging but rewarding career. As professionals in an emerging field, many travel trainers do not have the opportunity to share ideas and experiences or to learn together with colleagues. Whether a school or organization provides general information or intensive, route-specific, individualized coaching, there are precise methods of instruction that skilled travel trainers use to promote travel skills, skills retention and safety. In response, ESPA presents an Introduction to Travel Training, a course offering travel trainers basic information needed to expand their own skills and enhance the services of their school or organization.
Introduction to Travel Training is an intensive three-day course with classroom and field instruction. A limited enrollment and high trainer-to-participant ratio offers an environment where travel trainers will acquire knowledge in the classroom and directly apply and practice new skills on the street, obtaining constructive feedback from trainers and colleagues. Travel trainers will receive a toolkit packed with useful resources ready to use when they return to work.
