“As the Director of a County child support organization with over 60 percent of line staff being new to the program within the last two years, it was clear that an organization-wide training like ‘Collaborative Negotiations in Child Support’ offered by Public Knowledge was needed to get all of our team members integrated and moving together on a single track of learning about how to approach and communicate persuasively with our customers in order to consistently gain their trust and cooperation.
Over the course of six days, Public Knowledge® successfully and interactively engaged all of our staff in this learning endeavor. Post-training feedback from the participants has been extremely positive.This training clearly helped my staff to gain new perspective on our program and taught them how to positively deal with our customers’ issues and barriers on a daily basis.”

The highlight was their two-day, highly interactive, Collaborative Negotiations training. The Collaborative Negotiations training had great professional development content but, in addition, was an excellent bonding opportunity for staff. Folks seemed to genuinely have a good time and made new connections. It was perfect!”
