At Bixal, we've crafted a comprehensive five-step approach to empower communicators worldwide. From regular training to hands-on support, our methodology ensures impactful messaging and cross-cultural excellence. In this week’s blog post, Shawn Martell, our director of learning and organizational development, shows how our agile training modules and deep expertise in human-centered design are transforming the landscape of international communication. See tangible results in our work with our partners: • USAID: Implemented “sprint-based" learning modules that enabled rapid knowledge exchange, with a three-month sprint on virtual facilitation equipping 15 staff with skills they then shared agency-wide. • U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): Certified over 3,500 housing counselors nationwide via our learner-centered platform, enhancing their ability to assist customers. • U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ): Transformed in-person grant management training into engaging virtual experiences during the pandemic, ensuring continuity in critical skills development.

A huge thank you to the 23 folks at #DrupalGovCon who participated in our rubber ducky race yesterday. Many Drupalers joined us at the fountain and helped raise a bit of money which was split between one lucky "ducky" winner and the Drupal Association. The race was a huge success, filled with joy and community spirit, and we look forward to a bigger and better ducky race next year! #DuckyRace #DrupalCommunity #ThisIsBixal

I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation to three incredible Bixal colleagues: James Mejia, Charles Mahoney, and Ray Estrada, who delivered an outstanding training session on USWDS Rapid Prototyping with Twig and StorybookJS at #DrupalGovCon 2024. Their dedication, expertise, and passion for sharing knowledge with the community was truly evident throughout the session. The feedback from our attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, with many citing it as one of the best trainings they've ever attended. Here are a few quotes that stood out to me: "It was one of the best trainings I have attended. I have takeaways to immediately implement next week as soon as I get back to work." "I could not believe the amount of work and prep time that went into this; the documentation, instructions and repository were exceptional, like nothing I've ever seen in a training before." These quotes capture the essence of what made this training session so exceptional. James, Charlie and Ray have set a high bar for future training sessions, and I'm so grateful to have them as part of our team. A huge thank you to them and all the attendees who took the training!

As we prepare to wrap up our booth and head home from this year’s #DrupalGovCon, we want to extend our very sincere thanks to Kirsten Burgard and Nneka Hector, the two Co-Chairs of Drupal4Gov, our own Drupal 4 Gov collaborate, John Shortess, and all of the other Drupal4Gov who dedicated so much of their time and energy to make this incredible event possible. #DrupalGovCon remains one of our favorite Drupal-related conferences, offering us the opportunity to connect with the community, exchange best practices, and explore new innovations as we strive to better serve our clients and the communities they serve. We also want to express our gratitude to Bixaler Ray Estrada, for collaborating with our colleague Samira Sadat to showcase Bixal’s support in transforming Vote.gov from a simple bilingual static site into an inclusive, multilingual application that now supports 19 languages. And a big thank you to Nick Pistone and Nicolas Doyle, Ph.D. for sharing insights and strategies on how we helped our client better serve recent immigrants as they navigate and access federal benefits on USAGov Benefit Finder. Lastly, much gratitude to James Mejia, Charles Mahoney and Ray Estrada for delivering a great training on rapid protyping with #USWDS, #StorybookJS and #Twig. #DrupalGovCon 2024 may be over, but the learning and exchange of ideas continue here locally! Be sure to sign up for updates on upcoming Drupal NoVA meetups here: https://lnkd.in/gdvzrBTr. We'd love to have you join us.
