Role and Purpose of Group

The purpose of the Training Group is to:

  • Ensure that our goals align and build on the DDI Alliance Scientific Work Plan.

  • Introduce people to DDI and improve people's competence in working with DDI.

  • Promote deeper understanding of DDI’s work products by addressing specific topics.

  • Gear training to specific audiences as appropriate (for example, by beginning to set up training materials and events in languages other than English).

  • Develop expertise within the Working Group for carrying out training.

  • Maintain a training library with updated training material in languages other than English for reuse

DDI Trainer Interest Questionnaire - 

This questionnaire helps us determine interest and availability of people who are or want to be involved in DDI training related activities, such as webinars, training requests, and more. We plan to share this at least once a year but not more than quarterly, and with new members as they join.
