Hosted by: Juvenile Detention Centers and Alternative Programs

 

July 13 - 17, 2015

  

For more information contact WBear@pacounties.org

  

If you are interested in enhancing your agency's training efforts, here is a great opportunity. This is a training opportunity that was rescheduled.

  

Our state association (JDCAP) members have identified a need to strengthen the skills and increase the resources for agency trainers who must offer staff development programs in a manner that also increases staff performance. Through our partnership with our National Association, we are offering a 1-week training at an extremely low price. (refer to the attached brochure/registration form). JDCAP members and members of the Institute of Applied Juvenile Justice Services (IAJJS) will be eligible for discounted rates.

 

Additionally, all attendees may use the room block for reduced lodging rates. Just mention JDCAP when making reservations. Room block rates will be honored until June 13.

During this week, we will use 10 new NPJS training curricula as the content and weave adult learning instructional techniques to enhance overall trainer competencies.
