MILWAUKEE -- The American Society for Quality (ASQ) has launched the ASQ Learning Institute to help quality professionals obtain the education and training needed to stay competitive.

The ASQ Learning Institute provides users with quality concepts, technologies and tools to improve themselves and their organizations. For nonmembers, it includes a course catalog, news, and a calendar that allows visitors to view upcoming learning offerings that include courses, seminars and conferences. Full members have access to competency assessments, a career planner, and a learning plan.

“The ASQ Learning Institute represents a great change in the way that quality professionals obtain education and training,” said Roberto Saco, ASQ chair. “The system empowers users to obtain training when and where they need it.”
