By the end of this session, participants will be able to: Describe the purpose and value of the Prevention Learning Portal for prevention workforce development; Navigate key components of the Portal, including eLearning courses and the eLibrary; Identify learning opportunities and resources aligned with their professional roles and prevention goals, and; Apply Portal resources to a real prevention challenge or workforce development need.
