<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Good afternoon!</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="color:black">I am pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2017-2018 cohort of the Workforce Deans’ Academy. This yearlong opportunity is sponsored by the Center of Excellence for Careers in Education and Workforce
Education Council, and focuses on both leadership and the practical skills necessary to lead in the complex world of workforce and professional/technical education. The Academy meets regularly both in-person and online and begins with a required two-day summer
retreat at the Cedarbrook Lodge, August 14-15, 2017. </span><span style="color:#1F497D"><br>
<br>
</span><b><span style="color:black">Application packages are due by Friday, June 30, 2017.</span></b><span style="color:black">
</span>This will be a competitive application process as we are anticipating a higher number of applications than the 18 spaces available. We will give top priority to brand new workforce deans or directors. We will then look at the quality and completion
of the application package and a commitment to attend all training dates. If it becomes necessary, we may ask colleges to prioritize applications if we are still over capacity. (For those wishing to send more than one individual).<span style="color:#1F497D"><br>
</span><span style="color:black"><br>
I have attached an information sheet that details the program requirements, along with the application form itself.
</span><span style="color:#1F497D"><br>
</span><span style="color:black"><br>
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for sharing the opportunity on your campuses!
<br>
