This two-day, advanced training is focused on strategic program management and capacity development topics. The curriculum will include elements of CLINIC's highly praised Immigration Program Management Training but extend beyond it for more advanced learning opportunities. The training will draw from these advanced areas:

- Case management policies, procedures and forms. Participants will be asked to bring their case management forms to the training for a thorough review of forms in use and assess them against best practices.

- Program management challenges and ethical dilemmas with proposed solutions. Participants will learn from actual and hypothetical cases and share their own experiences.

- Fundraising planning with emphasis on program design and measuring outcomes for funder approval and ongoing support.

- Group application processing with consideration of current uses (naturalization and Temporary Protected Status) in addition to prospective use for a legalization program. Each participant will create a workshop plan for her or his program.

- Comprehensive immigration reform planning for implementation. Participants will consider community-wide and program preparedness steps necessary regardless of when legislation passes or how legalization, in particular, will be legislated and regulated.

- Open forum for participants to raise issues, ask questions and share good practices that are replicable.

The training is highly interactive. Participants will leave with useful and customized tools to help them create or improve immigration legal services. This is not a basic immigration program management training. Participants should have attended a prior training by CLINIC on immigration program management or have two years of management level experience running an immigration program.

The presenters for this training include Helen Chen, Esq. Jeff Chenoweth and Kristina Karpinski, Esq.
