The FTCC Collaboration is part of an initiative to increase collaboration among federally funded training centers with overlapping or related missions. This year's theme was "Strategies for Developing the Workforce That Serves At-Risk Populations". One of the meeting goals was to "provide opportunities for participants to exchange knowledge, skills and best practices using adult learning theories and training techniques as well as other strategies to promote workforce excellence." The Mountain West ATTC workshop titled, "Presentation Zen" focused on principles of presentation design and delivery based on adult learning theories with the incorporation of the the ideas of Garr Reynolds, a presentation designer, communications expert and author of the book presentationzen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery. The topic challenged attendees to think differently and creatively about power point presentations and delivery.
