ATD Rocky Mountain Chapter programs are pre-approved by the ATD Certification Institute for continuing education credits towards recertification by Certified Professional in Talent Development (CPTD) and Associate Professional in Talent Development (APTD) credential holders.

The specific number of points is determined based on the direct contact hours provided during each program with breaks, lunch and pre-work time omitted. Regular chapter meetings, networking opportunities and SIG meetings will not count for professional development unless there is a content component aligned with the capability model.

    • Virtual - Zoom information to be sent with registration
    Register

    Job searching is one of the loneliest professional experiences there is. You're putting yourself out there every day, getting ghosted, second-guessing your resume, wondering if you're doing it right, and trying to stay positive through all of it.

    Career Club is a free monthly gathering for ATD Rocky Mountain members ($25/ session for non-members) who are navigating the job search, whether you've been at it for two weeks or two years, whether you're actively applying or just starting to think about what's next.

    Each session includes a 15-minute coaching topic from an ICF-certified career coach, followed by small group breakout conversations and optional hot seat coaching so you can get your most pressing questions answered.

    Topics span the full job search: strengths, values, resumes, LinkedIn, interviewing, and negotiating. Topics may shift based on group needs. Here's a tentative plan for topics: 

    May 21 — Your Strengths + Skills: Picture of You

    June 18 — Limiting Beliefs: What's Running the Show

    July 16 — Writing Your Niche Statement so You Can Network Like a Pro

    August 20 — Resumes: Sound Like You, Not a Job Description

    September 17 — LinkedIn: Show Up and Stand Out

    October 15 — Interviewing: Own the Room

    November 19 — How to Network When You Hate Networking

    December 17 — Year-End Reflection and 2027 Planning

    Every session closes with a personal commitment to keep your search moving forward.

    Third Thursday of each month, 9:00–10:00 AM MT, via Zoom.

    When you register, you'll receive a link to our shared resource space. Inside you'll find:

    • The Job Seeker Directory — Add your name, target role, industry, and location so other members can connect and refer you.
    • The Job Board — A running list of roles members have spotted that might be a fit for someone else in the group. Contribute what you find.
    • Session Resources — Notes, worksheets, and handouts from every session, available to review anytime.

      Free for members. $25/ per session for non-members.

      Join us for an engaging four-part book club series:

      Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseveranceby Angela Duckworth argues that grit—a combination of passion and long-term perseverance—is a better predictor of success than talent or IQ. Drawing on her research and personal experiences, Duckworth shows how grit can be developed through deliberate practice, resilience, and a "Hard Thing Rule," using examples from West Point cadets to National Spelling Bee finalists. The book suggests that sustained effort and a marathon-like mindset are key to achieving long-term goals, offering insights for parents, educators, and individuals. 

      Reading cadence

      Session 1: JUN 4 - What is Grit, Really? Introduction +Chapters 1-3

      Session 2: JUN 25 - Passion - Where Grit Begins: Chapters 4-6

      Session 3: JUL 16 - Perseverance - The Grind Side of Grit: Chapters 7-9

      Session 4: AUG 6 - Grit in the Real World: Chapter 10-Conclusion

      ATD RMC Members who attend at least three of the four scheduled discussions will be eligible to have the cost of the book reimbursed to them (up to $10).

      We encourage participants to explore a variety of options when securing this book to read. As an older selection, it is possible to find gently used versions of this selection at a significant discount.

      Participants will receive the zoom link(s) after registering.

            Job searching is one of the loneliest professional experiences there is. You're putting yourself out there every day, getting ghosted, second-guessing your resume, wondering if you're doing it right, and trying to stay positive through all of it.

            Career Club is a free monthly gathering for ATD Rocky Mountain members ($25/ session for non-members) who are navigating the job search, whether you've been at it for two weeks or two years, whether you're actively applying or just starting to think about what's next.

            Each session includes a 15-minute coaching topic from an ICF-certified career coach, followed by small group breakout conversations and optional hot seat coaching so you can get your most pressing questions answered.

            Topics span the full job search: strengths, values, resumes, LinkedIn, interviewing, and negotiating. Topics may shift based on group needs. Here's a tentative plan for topics: 

            September 17 — LinkedIn: Show Up and Stand Out

            October 15 — Interviewing: Own the Room

            November 19 — How to Network When You Hate Networking

            December 17 — Year-End Reflection and 2027 Planning

            Every session closes with a personal commitment to keep your search moving forward.

            Third Thursday of each month, 9:00–10:00 AM MT, via Zoom.

            When you register, you'll receive a link to our shared resource space. Inside you'll find:

            • The Job Seeker Directory — Add your name, target role, industry, and location so other members can connect and refer you.
            • The Job Board — A running list of roles members have spotted that might be a fit for someone else in the group. Contribute what you find.
            • Session Resources — Notes, worksheets, and handouts from every session, available to review anytime.

              Free for members. $25/ per session for non-members.
