This is the third in a 3-Part series that discusses the Dispute Resolution teaching profession. This section focuses on the "repeat" clients of students; and how to take care of them after they have finished the course.
Alternative Dispute Resolution is easy to teach, easy to sell to students and very hard to turn into a skill that allows someone who has had training to:
(a) find employment in; and,
(b) be competent at.
As a result many programs resemble strip mining operations, bringing in students, taking their money, and depositing them on the other side as detritus, without any use but to be part of the growing slag heap of those talked out of their money, time and hope.
Very few programs honor the Ethical Duties of Mediation Trainers in the Promotion of Training Programs.
I remain very curious to see where honest examination of the profession of teaching takes ADR.
