Hello New York,

In past years, other offices have organized informal training sessions for new cohorts, to fill in gaps that managers are seeing in certain skill areas, and to share skills and expertise that people find useful. These training sessions are aimed at building useful skills expected of junior consultants, and will complement the formal training program.

We are asking for your input on the topics you would like covered to ensure that the training is relevant and useful to those that attend. This survey should only take 5 minutes and is completely anonymous. We appreciate your help and are looking forward to your thoughts.

Sincerely,
NYO Training Committee
 
 
 
* What is your current level?
 
 
 
What topics should be included in the New York office informal training events during 2015? Your selection should consider those topics you want to attend  yourself, as well as those you think will be useful for your colleagues and team members. ​

Please select all that apply, keeping in mind that there is only time for 10-12 training sessions.
