Cornell's facilitation training is designed to interactively teach participants effective facilitation skills for chairing meetings; leading department, organization, and university project teams; and facilitating workshops and learning programs. The goal is to increase the effectiveness of teams, meetings, workshops, and programs by increasing the quality of facilitation.
