Essentials for Healthy Homes Practitioners Training

If you visit homes to provide health or inspection services of any type, you will benefit from the Essentials for Healthy Homes Practitioners Course. The training will help you understand the connection between health and housing and how to take a holistic approach to identify and resolve problems, which threaten the health and well-being of residents.

The training complements hazard-specific training in lead-based paint, radon, mold, pests, and asbestos. It identifies root causes of health problems in a home and links them to seven principles of healthy housing: Keep it dry; Keep it clean; Keep it pest-free; Keep it ventilated; Keep it safe; Keep it contaminant-free; and maintain the house.

Course participants will have a better understanding of how to collaborate to make healthy homes a reality in their community. To learn more, please visit the National Healthy Homes Training Center and Network website: http://healthyhousingsolutions.com/hhtc/

Being able to make an effective presentation is critical in today’s world. An effective PowerPoint can be the difference in how your audience leaves your presentation. Everyone talks when they leave a presentation and contracts are won and lost based on how your presentation is received. A strong PowerPoint skill set helps employer productivity while ensuring that employees maximize their career goals.
