The Apparo IT Volunteer Coaching Program pairs technology professionals from corporations with local nonprofits to provide one-on-one coaching in using common business tools like Microsoft Office and SharePoint. Volunteers commit to spending one hour per month over a four month semester providing on-site coaching. They help nonprofit staff learn skills like using email/Outlook, sharing calendars and documents, and other functions that can increase the organization's efficiency and ability to fulfill its mission. Previous agencies served through the program found it to be a great value and their coaches to be very helpful.

Building an Ambassador Program to Increase User Adoption & Expand your Bigges...Tony Cappaert
When we sell to enterprise customers, driving adoption and long-term user engagement is always a major focus. However, we found it was really hard to drive that adoption via webinars, email marketing, or phone calls alone.
In this session, we'll walk through how we've built our our Ambassador Program: an effort to equip power users to help nurture and grow our biggest accounts. By identifying and training a handful of Ambassadors in each enterprise, we increased adoption and revenue growth by over 10% in the first 60 days.
If you're looking for specific tactics on how to grow your top accounts in the next few months, this is the session for you!

Training needs analysis, skills auditing, training evaluation, calculating training ROI and strategic learning and development best practice principles and processes
Mentoring programs have become mainstream. About 70% of Fortune 500 companies have one. A Harvard Business Review study of 30 professional firms found that, in a hypercompetitive world, it is easy for mentoring programs to become stale and bureaucratic. Mentoring can have positive impacts in terms of job satisfaction, organisational commitment, and even career progression. In this presentation, I explain how mentoring mentoring influences both career progression and salary. Of course many of these findings depend on the specific type of mentoring and institution, but positive effects are clear.
