Training Seminar Format

The 14th National Training Seminar is built around four structured and facilitated workshops that provide attendees the opportunity to learn from each other through collaborative discussions. Outside the workshops, participants will gain insight from speakers who are nationally recognized leaders, researchers, practitioners, and subject matter experts during sessions focused on five strands: Well Being, Family, Educational Innovation, Special Needs, and Leadership. As attendees add their voice and expertise, this results-oriented professional development and training will provide practical skills that can be implemented both professionally and personally. Join this diverse community of professionals and leaders in the fields of education, industry, government and the military as we address the needs of our military-connected youth who reside in every zip code across America and are shining… from sea to sea.
