The Institute for Labor Studies and Research (ILSR) offers professional development training workshops for organizations and individuals that help employees sharpen their professional skills and assist them in meeting workplace challenges.

The below workshops are offered to various Rhode Island State Employees and Department of Corrections employees, and a similar version can be offered.

For organizations, we have a minimum class size of twelve (12) and a maximum of twenty (20).
