Education Programs (Pre and Post Standardization)

Other Information:

Educational Programs are designed for all types of people functioning within the markets served by NISO and their primary purpose is sub-categorized depending upon if it is a pre or post standardization program. • Pre-Standardization. In this phase the focus of an educational program centers on the objective of bringing together key players that face a problem that could be solved through standardization, and, in a neutral forum, to scope what that standardization process would need to encompass to provide a solution. • Post-Standardization. Once a standard is released, a critical component of the standard being accepted and used is to educate the marketplace about the availability of the standard, the means of implementation, and the resources available to help in those areas. • General Presentations to Organizations. As part of the NISO Educational Programs, NISO will also arrange for general educational presentations to organizations for a fee on any of the products and services produced. It is generally expected that this type of training would be done on a subcontracting basis with qualified personnel recruited on the topic of the presentation.
