• Core competencies rather than traditional topic areas. This approach reflects the knowledge and skills OEHS professionals need across roles and career stages. • Content level (introductory, intermediate, or advanced) to help you quickly identify sessions that align with your current knowledge and desired level of challenge. • Target audience (technician, practitioner, or professional) to help you build a personalized learning experience and identify pathways aligned with your goals. • Session interactivity (case studies, group activities, hands-on demonstrations, games, live polling, problem solving/practice exercises, and small group discussions), recognizing that individuals learn in diverse ways and benefit most when presentation style aligns with their preferences. • Session availability (in-person, virtual, or OnDemand) to help you plan your schedule.
