INTRODUCTION TO IMPLAN TRAINING WORKSHOP
The Introduction to IMPLAN workshop is an interactive training course designed for new IMPLAN users or for those in need of an introduction to the fundamentals of economic impact analysis.
“The IMPLAN training was transformational in how we will proceed with economic impact analysis and reporting. The training strengthened my understanding and expanded my abilities to provide complex, in-depth assessments to our clients. I highly recommend the training for new and existing IMPLAN users.”
