jobEQ 2013 Conference - Post conference workshops

Modeling workshop (Monday, August 26^th)

This 1-day program with Patrick Merlevede is open for experienced iWAM and/or VSQ users who want to use jobEQ\'s toolset for modeling.[1] You will learn to use the advanced modeling features available from jobEQ for making models of excellence for a job role and/or for modeling organizational cultures or even making standard groups. The program includes the procedures to be followed to make a model and the underlying statistical principles. We will either work on a case study from one or several of the participants who have already made models in collaboration with jobEQ or on some models jobEQ made for other projects. Certification of this course gives you the right to create models of excellence using jobEQ\'s toolset. For being certified, we expect that you make a first model under supervision of jobEQ (this can be done prior or after attending this workshop).

[1] jobEQ\'s tools have been designed around the principle of modeling excellence. For that purpose, certified modelers can subscribe to extensions to the search engine and to team report (the subscription to the extension costs 50 credits a year, including help desk support by Patrick Merlevede personally).

iWAM certification training, (Wednesday, August 28^th - Friday, 30)

The iWAM certification training is a 3-day programme during which people learn to:

• distinguish the meta-programs measured by the iWAM,
• question them (in a similar way to what the LAB Profile training does,
• give feedback on them (to an individual or a team)
• use them in various applications, such as recruiting, assessment, coaching, teambuilding and modeling excellence
• use jobEQ\'s software to administer the iWAM questionnaire and generate the various reports.

iWAM Trainer certification Process (Tuesday 27 till Friday 30^th)

This program is not a "trainer\'s training" but offers candidate trainers a chance to get certified as iWAM Trainer, by proving their competence, under supervision of Patrick Merlevede. For more information, contact Patrick Merlevede directly.

iWAM/LAB Profile Trainer Integration day: (Saturday, August 31^st)

This 1-day workshop with Patrick Merlevede has been designed for LAB Profile trainer/consultants who are also certified as iWAM professional and who want to train & certify others to use the iWAM instrument.
