Metalcasters will hone their sales and project management skills with the help of two new management courses from the AFS Institute: A Selling Framework Bootcamp and Leading Successful Projects by Lake Forest Graduate School of Management. 

Leading Successful Projects is an online course teaching students how to leverage key project management concepts and tools. The four-hour class focuses on structuring a project environment and applying management methods for project management success. Offered in partnership with Lake Forest Graduate School of Management, students will walk away with tools they can implement right away. This course is intended for metalcasting managers and anyone who oversees projects at work. 

Leading Successful Projects by Lake Forest Graduate School of Management will be held live on Zoom from noon-4 p.m. (CT) on June 29. The instructor is John Flood, a certified Project Management Professional and faculty member at LFGSM. 

A Selling Framework Bootcamp is an in-person course offered in collaboration with Sandler Training, the world leader in sales training. The class will share the process for identifying the right behaviors, attitudes, and technique to maximize the chances of sales success.   

Made for salespeople and anyone responsible for business development at a metalcasting facility or industry supplier, this course teaches students how to create the right kind of long-term, valuable customer base. A Selling Framework Bootcamp will be held at AFS HQ in Schaumburg, Illinois, on Sept. 22-23, 2022. The instructor is Jared Lockwood, Owner/Principal at Sandler Training.
