NMIN’s Advanced Training Certification, or ATC, recognizes an individual’s engagement in diverse capacity-building activities offered by NMIN, its partners, and other recognized organizations, where the learning involved goes “above and beyond” the training typically provided in an academic program and contributes to the formation of a well-rounded professional.
NMIN’s ATC provides a competitive advantage by formally recognizing national-level network experience as well as training and experiential learning across a broad range of professional and interpersonal skills.
There are currently three levels of NMIN ATC: Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
The 19 new NMIN ATC recipients, the fourth group to be accredited, are listed below. All have qualified for certification as a result of their high level of engagement in NMIN HQP Program activities, having engaged in activities ranging from attendance at lectures and webinars, to participation in the HQP Research Presentations Series and serving on the NMIN HQP Network (NHN) Executive Committee.
Four qualified for Gold certification: Miffy Cheng, Yulin Mo, Liza Silverman and Wesley Walker. They continue to earn credits towards their Platinum ATC.
The other 15 qualified for Silver certification: Genc Basha, Karen Chan, Po-Han Chao, Cécile Darviot, Harrison Fan, Sarthak Garg, Isabelle Largillière, Tavonga Mandava, Samantha McWhirter, Tyler Thomson, Ariadne Tuckmantel Bido, Michael Valic, Abishek Wadhwa, Logan Zettle, and Nashmia Zia. They continue to earn credits towards their Gold ATC.
