ASAE Launches New Online Learning, Talent Development Platform

May 2, 2017

The American Society of Association Executives has unveiled a new continuous learning and talent development platform – ASAE Learning Online.

ASAE Learning Online provides on-demand access to unlimited educational opportunities for ASAE members and non-members throughout the association community.

Subscribers can personalize learning plans, take skills gap assessments and search through hundreds of educational options that align with association management competencies (defined by ASAE’s Job Task Analysis) as well as professional skills important for individual, team and organizational effectiveness.

The platform will also offer personalized recommendations so participants can discover the most relevant content to meet their needs.

“ASAE Learning Online gives the association community the ability to learn at the point of need, when and where they need it, as well as understand where they are along their career path,” explained ASAE President and CEO John H. Graham IV.

He continued, “Subscribers will be able to take self-assessments, set goals and track all their continuing education in one place. We are very excited about this new platform for association professionals!”

Individual ASAE members and non-members can purchase monthly or annual subscriptions to the learning platform, as well as take it for a test run via a limited, seven-day free subscription that includes five trial courses.

In the fall, ASAE Learning Online will also offer organizational subscriptions, provide a range of talent management-related features, as well as introduce multi-course certificate programs and career bundles.

“Research shows that organizations with strong learning and talent development processes drive better business results including more revenue, greater employee engagement, reduced staff turnover, and higher customer retention,” said Rhonda Payne, ASAE chief learning officer.

She added, “As we position ASAE to provide the best support for our members individually as well as organizationally, it is critical that we offer a variety of ways to engage and help advance this type of employee-centric learning culture.”  

ASAE Learning Online uses the platform SumTotal, a Skillsoft company, with educational content curated from a combination of member-produced, staff-produced and third-party course content.
