Training

Rosilee Trotta, author of Tackling the Tough Skills™, is available to conduct train-the-trainer workshops for groups or organizations interested in using the curriculum with their program participants. Specially designed training sessions can be arranged to meet unique training needs of educators and/or group participants. 

About the author/trainer: 
Life changed for Rosilee Trotta when she became a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ecuador at age 18.  Hooked on the euphoria of learning from people and their experiences, Rosilee continued her own schooling in inner-city hospitals, day-care centers, housing projects and social service agencies, as well as in an Eskimo village above the Arctic Circle.  Along the way she picked up degrees in nursing, psychology, sociology, and social work, ending with a master's in social work and becoming a licensed clinical social worker.

Rosilee is currently the Urban Youth and Family Specialist for University of Missouri  Extension, where she is primarily involved in workforce preparation, offender re-entry programs, and offering educational insights in her curriculum, Tackling the Tough Skills™. She also teaches workshops on parenting, diversity, conflict resolution, leadership, and anything relevant to families, youth, and the workplace. In addition, Rosilee serves on a variety of boards dedicated to helping adults and children realize their potential.
