Crystal,
Thank you so much for your post. I agree that TAP should also address and find ways to make available learning opportunities and Best Practices for incorporating the whole array of technologies in as user friendly manner as possible so no architect should have to face discrimination against employment for lack of such understanding.
In addition to "Smartphone" & clientweb portal technology, I'd vote for how to and for what purpose in utilizing various PM software such as Deltek Vision, (which is also used for a wide range of functions including client-relationship mgmt). Also, the current technologies A-Z in making, maintaining & easy how to cost effective "what you need to know" routine up-dating for Web pages and why/how to utilize Adobe C Suite Programs, basically the whole range of programs that are currently being used and why.
As for webinars, now that I just managed to finally get a job, I am up to my eyeballs in getting acclimated, so it is CRUCIAL that these webinars address BIG Picture, Nitty Gritty How To AND that they would be recorded and be made available On Demand.
