Title: Introduction to Professional Organizing
Course #: PO-001T
Description: This course is designed for the individual interested in learning more about the field of organizing. It defines the profession of organizing, introduces participants to the history of the organizing industry and of NAPO, presents an overview of how a professional organizer works, and explains the benefits of NAPO membership.
The course format is predominantly lecture, followed by a question-and-answer period and supported by handouts. While the course provides prospective organizers with a sound foundation, it is not designed to present all the ins and outs of the organizing profession, but simply to introduce participants to the industry. The course provides a framework from which each participant can decide whether and how to pursue organizing as a profession.
