Navigating the Tides of Change: Occupational Education Leadership Now
Looking to refresh your leadership skills, reconnect with fellow occupational education colleagues, and relax on the beach of Monterey Bay? Then this is the year to attend the Vocational Education Leadership Institute. There will be plenty of opportunities to learn new techniques, share your experiences, and enjoy a luxurious resort atmosphere, only steps away from the beach.
About the Institute
The Vocational Education Leadership Institute
is designed to develop and promote leadership
among occupational faculty at local, regional
and state levels. The Seminar provides training
and a range of tools to the faculty in attendance.
One of the goals of the seminar is to encourage
more active participation of occupational faculty
in the Academic Senate for California Community
Colleges. This Seminar helps to develop close
relationships with statewide leaders and other
occupational faculty members while informing
occupational educators about the resources
available to them.
Cost and Registration
Participation is limited to 70 attendees and
is on a first come first serve basis. The attendance
of the Institute including double occupancy
