KU TRIO Training Program
What is the KU TRIO Training Program?
The KU TRIO Training Programs (KU TTP-2 & KU TTP-3) provide professional development through a two-pronged approach designed to empower TRIO professionals and institutional and agency teams to successfully manage and operate their TRIO grants. Training covers program evaluation and reporting, student needs assessment and retention, graduation strategies, educational technology, career planning, budget management, TRIO statutory and regulatory requirements, and effective project management for new project directors.
Eligibility:
All TRIO personnel, regardless of position or role within the program are eligible to register to attend either the virtual or on-site training. TRIO grantees should consider registering their institutional partners as well, which could also include grant administrators, institutional data experts, and/or institutional leadership. Registration information will be updated below.
There are two unique training opportunities available through this grant:
Virtual Team Trainings
Each year, 150 TRIO professionals and key institution/agency representatives will participate in Virtual TEAM Trainings designed to strengthen organizational capacity and collaboration around the effective operation of TRIO programs. Training topics will include program evaluation and reporting, student needs assessment and retention, graduation strategies, educational technology, career planning, budget management, TRIO statutory and regulatory requirements, and project management for new project directors. Three trainings will be offered each year as a series of online workshops spanning two full days, at no cost to participants.
In-Person Trainings
Each year, 100 TRIO professionals will participate in on-site, in-person trainings designed to strengthen individual knowledge, skills, and professional networks. Training topics will include program evaluation and reporting, student needs assessment and retention, graduation strategies, educational technology, career planning, budget management, TRIO statutory and regulatory requirements, and project management for new project directors. Trainings will also provide opportunities for mentoring, networking, and collaboration with other TRIO colleagues. Two trainings will be offered each year and will span 2.5 days. KU TRIO Training Programs will cover the first night of participants’ hotel accommodations, along with most meals.
