Library Associate Training Institute - EESP and Advance LAT

 The LATI team has put together a video which reviews the basics of the LATI program, and explains the differences between the Early Start program (EESP) and the Advanced LAT program.  You can view the program on YouTube here:  Difference between EESP and Advanced LATI - YouTube.

In this video, we describe the differences in content and approach for the Expanded Early Start Program of LATI (EESP) which is 30 hours asynchronous online, and the Advanced LATI program, which is 60 hours and a hybrid mix of synchronous, online, and as possible, in-person.

You might need to change your browser if you use Chrome.  YouTube functions better on Microsoft Edge.
