3 JAG VISION CASTING FORUM WEDNESDAY, JULY 11 8:30-11:30 AM FOR ALL PRE-NTS & NTS PARTICIPANTS There is a new name for the opening event of NTS because it will offer a new dynamic experience. We are bringing together all of the attendees from PRE-NTS and NTS for a Vision Casting Forum to better articulate and affirm the promise and position of JAG. As the future of workforce development becomes the reality of our day-to-day practice the mission of the JAG Model has never been more relevant. The JAG National Network has newfound opportunities to advance student-centered solutions through public/private partnerships, employer engagement, and state-level leadership. We will take a deep dive into critical components of the JAG Model, and expand the conversation to include the application of project-based learning, trauma-informed strategies, and resource development. Whether you are completing your Pre-NTS training, or just beginning your NTS experience, we encourage you to join your peers as together we frame the future. The JAG Vision Casting Forum promises to prompt new thinking, expand your toolbox, and inspire cohesive action.
