A New Path to Training—The ASQ Learning Institute™

ASQ is proud to announce its new education and training system—the ASQ Learning Institute.

The ASQ Learning Institute is a professional development resource that will enable anyone, anywhere, anytime to improve themselves, their organization, and their world through quality concepts, technologies, and tools. The Institute will house all of ASQ’s learning offerings in one convenient location, providing members (Full, Senior, Fellow, and Honorary) with free access to online tools that will customize and track their learning progress.

In October 2005, the need to create a unified vision for how ASQ carries out its education and training emerged. The previous system, where ASQ headquarters, sections, divisions, and forums all operated independently, lacked standardization and failed to maximize ASQ’s talents and capabilities. The ASQ Learning Institute will ensure consistent course delivery while delivering the same high-quality content members have come to expect from ASQ.

Demonstrations of the ASQ Learning Institute’s features and benefits will be offered at the 2009 ASQ World Conference on Quality and Improvement, May 18–20, in Minneapolis, Minn. A Society-wide rollout of the system will occur later in May.
