Important Information from the NIH Training Center
It is our honor to serve you. Please note that while our scheduled FY 25 classes are available for registration in our course catalog, many classes will only proceed when HHS lifts the current procurement hold on external purchases. In the meantime, NIHTC is receiving registrations as approved by IC final approvers. As always, NIHTC will refund tuition for any classes that we cancel. If you have questions about your IC’s budget, we advise that you consult with your IC leadership to abide by their budgetary guidance.
Presentations are more than formal speeches. Professionals ‘present’ every day. From giving a report at a staff meeting, to presenting at a conference—public speaking skills are critical for career success. This one-day class provides realistic techniques to help NIH professionals feel more comfortable, confident, and prepared for upcoming speaking opportunities. Participants will receive strategic templates to help structure clear and concise presentations and will hear best practices to captivate target audiences. The session incorporates recorded practice exercises for each participant to rehearse segments of work-related presentations and receive individual feedback.
