Unlock Flexible, Tailored Learning for Your Entire Organization

Looking to level up your team’s skills and knowledge? Our programs are designed with flexibility and inclusivity in mind and they’re not just for members or planners. Our workshops are suitable for a wide range of technical professionals, including planning technicians, urban planners, engineers, architects, landscape architects, and real estate professionals. Whether you’re an OPPI member or not, everyone is welcome. We offer student and non-member rates to keep access easy and equitable.

We understand that every organization is different. Have a specific format or schedule in mind? We can tailor our workshops to meet your needs, whether that’s virtual, in-person, or a mix of both. In 2025, we worked with several municipalities to customize programming for their teams. Participants raved about learning in person at their workplace, enjoying the interactive exercises and the accessible approach, regardless of their level of experience.

Here are some of the testimonials we received from attendees:

• “The workshop focused on the critical components of a proforma, and it was highly relevant to our team’s work.”
• “In person, no laptops — pens and paper. Loved it!”
• “Loved the structured process, highlighting a project you have worked on or are working on, and the feedback and input from the facilitators.”
• “The event was great with some good tips and thinking exercises to advance the narrative on housing in a productive way.”

Here are some popular workshops we customized in 2025:

• Development Pro Forma for Planners - Basics & Advanced 
• Shaping the Narrative: How to Communicate Affordable Housing Effectively
• Writing Clearly and Strategically: Non-Technical Language for Business and Planning
