Empowering People.
Stronger Teams.
The Third Sight team was able to take years of data and mold it into an understandable format for our VRCs, Managers, and other staff. Dahlia and her team led discussions on several different data subsets of interest to our agency and led our group to data driven recommendations for agency system change.

About Our Training
Unlock Growth and Retain Talent with Third Sight’s Professional Development
The leading reason employees leave their jobs is the lack of opportunities for growth, achievement, and security. Organizations that invest in professional development not only boost retention but also cultivate a diverse and talented workforce — including employees with and without disabilities.
Effective training happens at every stage: onboarding new staff, enhancing skills for current employees, and preparing teams to advance your organization’s mission.
Third Sight offers customizable, scalable professional development solutions designed to elevate your organization, teams, and individual leaders. Our training programs help build skills, deepen knowledge, and strengthen your leadership pipeline — empowering you to retain top talent and support the succession of internal candidates into managerial and executive roles.
Let us help you build a stronger, more inclusive workforce ready to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.
How We Do It.
Our approach to professional development centers on collaboration—starting with co-designing programs and extending to collaborative learning experiences. Many of our trainings are structured for groups and cohorts to learn and grow together, fostering peer support and shared insights.
Participants bring valuable knowledge and expertise to the table. Our skilled facilitators create engaging, relevant, and problem-solving-focused learning environments that directly connect to participants’ real-world work challenges.
We pride ourselves on a flexible, responsive approach tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.
