Do you want to learn more about the field of talent development, elements of the career, and strategies for success? Join an ND ATD peer mentoring group!

Over and over, our members tell us that learning from each other is one of the most valuable parts of joining ND ATD. We have elevated that benefit through members-only peer mentoring groups. 

What is a peer mentoring group? 
A peer mentoring group meets regularly (approximately once/month) over a virtual platform. Discussion centers around a specific topical areas of talent development.
