Training and Events

In order to better serve your professional development and training needs, we have added new and exciting training workshops and have aligned topics by relevance (tracks) to core competencies for afterschool practitioners. Training topics are grouped in such a way that practitioners can clearly see which trainings may be most beneficial for them based on the core knowledge area that is addressed. It is recommended that a practitioner start his/her professional development journey with The Progressive Afterschool Practitioner. This is a training designed to heighten a practitioner's insight into his/her own professional development and further how to use the Core Competencies for Afterschool Practitioners to create a personalized training plan. Once a plan is in place, practitioners may decide to attend specific trainings that relate to their plan and that address core knowledge areas and competencies.

It is not mandatory to take trainings in a specific track, but it is recommended as a guide when planning your personal and professional development.

Training is offered in a variety of formats:

• Single session workshops and multi-day workshops
• Peer exchanges
• Technical assistance for Professional Development planning
• Site-based trainings
• Online Trainings
• College Courses

Prime Time also brings afterschool and summer program providers together to network with one another, to learn about new trends and advocacy issues, and to share information about program and staff resources through its Afterschool Consortium. The Consortium is open to all individuals engaged in the afterschool field in Palm Beach County.

Please join us for the next Afterschool Consortium Networking Event.
