STS Highlights September 2024
STS Highlights: September
September is typically our marker for autumn and cooler temperatures. This time of year we see a lot of partners and customers training new employees and finishing up annual requirements for their returning workers. We have online training options for these requirements that are available 24/7, trackable, and include completion certificates. If your organization isn’t using technology to your advantage, it’s time to open the door and usher in the 21st century.
I’m also personally excited to attend next month’s NAPT Conference! I hope to see you there!
The goal with these monthly resources is always to convey a few public service announcements (PSAs) and to help elevate your career, department, or organization. As always, we take pride in helping you meet your training needs and goals.
Business as usual,
