JCFPL x ATD NYC Design Day
October 9-18, 2025
Virtual + In-person at the Jersey City Free Public Library
About The Program
Join us for our first ATD NYC Design Day, a community event where talent development meets compassion! This inspiring collaboration brings together innovative professionals across talent development, learning, and instructional design to give back to the local community and create solutions for local non-profits & social causes.
This year, we are excited to partner with the Jersey City Free Public Library (JCFPL) to further their purpose of putting community first.
What to Expect
In this two-week hybrid program, you'll collaborate four times with a team of like-minded individuals to tackle real, current JCFPL challenges in areas such as: Onboarding strategy; Learning measurement; Customer service training; and Change management plans.
Not only will you give back to your community, but you'll also expand your network, gain consulting experience, and see your ideas implemented in the real world. With mentors on hand, delicious bites provided, and industry experts, the ATD NYC Design Day is your chance to use your talents for positive change.
Who Should Attend
Whether you're a talent development pro or just starting out, your skills can make a real difference! Join us if you are interested and available on all four program dates.
