About Convene Training
Convene Training was founded by Josh Dye, MPNA and offers training to government, nonprofit, contracted case management, and health and human services professionals that help other people.
While training at conferences across the country for the past 15 years, Josh noticed two big problems plaguing the sector
- High rates of stress, burnout, and staff turnover.
- Budgets that severely limit access to high-quality training for staff. Many agencies can only afford to train a small portion of their people, leaving many without the learning opportunities they need to be successful and feel supported by their employers.
The Convene Training subscription model was launced in 2017 to solve these problems and offers affordable training opportunities with CEUs each year.
About Josh Dye, MPNA
Josh is the President & Founder of Convene Training.
Since 2010 he has provided training to professionals who work in high-stress environments, like health and human services, behavioral health, contracted case management, homelessness, reentry, refugee services, CASAs, nonprofits, government, and more.
Attendees in over 1,500 of his presentations have learned how to harness the courage to lead, create, have tough conversations, maximize precious time, and leverage moments of failure for meaningful growth.
What separates Josh apart from other speakers and trainers is how he combines practical, actionable tips with inspiration and motivation. He doesn’t just tell you what to do, he charts the course for how to do it.
Josh authentically speaks from his own experiences, benefiting audiences with lessons from both his successes and gut-wrenching failures.
In 2006 Josh earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Housing Studies from the University of Minnesota. In 2010 he earned a Master’s Degree in Public & Nonprofit Administration from Metropolitan State University.
