Mediation Training
Basic mediation and annual training are essential for mediator skill development. WMS is committed to the continued skill development of our mediation apprentices and roster members. Each year WMS provides mediation trainings, which includes content, technique development, and time to practice.
In 2020 and 2024 the Workplace Mediation Service recruited UMB employees who were interested in joining our roster of mediators and provided them with the Basic Mediation Training. WMS mediator roster members and apprentices are required to participate in eight hours of continuing mediation training annually.
Basic Mediation Training 2024
for UMB employees
The training is designed for employees who plan to join the Workplace Mediation Service mediator roster and have completed the WMS mediator application process. The 40-hour mediation training combines a large amount of experiential and simulation-based instruction. Trainees will practice, reflect, and cover material together and independently through synchronous remote sessions, role plays, session pre-work, and recorded content.
This training meets the requirements of a basic mediation training under Maryland judicial rules. Topics covered in the training include:
- Dispute Resolution and Mediation Background
- Mediation Skills and Techniques
- Mediator Professional Responsibility
- Mediation Process Stages
