training and facilitation
At Forward Progress, training and facilitation are strategic tools that transform complex transportation and urban planning initiatives into actionable knowledge and sustainable capacity. Our team designs and delivers comprehensive professional development programs that bridge technical expertise with practical implementation, ensuring that agencies, organizations, and communities have the skills and systems needed for long-term success.
