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 Institute 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 Institute helps to develop close
relationships with statewide leaders and other
occupational faculty members while informing
occupational educators about the resources
available to them.
