Join Us:
The American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) convenes the 17th annual Workforce Development Institute (WDI) Thursday, January 28 through Saturday, January 30. Preconference sessions will be Wednesday, January 27. A special intensive seminar of the AACC Future Leaders Institute (FLI/WDI) will be offered starting Tuesday, January 26 from 2-5 p.m. and continue all day (8 a.m. - 5 p.m.) on Wednesday, January 27.
WDI's 2010 theme, The Stimulus & Beyond, reflects the extraordinary number of opportunities opening up for community colleges, and the institute will provide critical information about ways your college can make the most of them. Sessions will examine major economic and legislative initiatives including the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the American Graduation Initiative: Stronger American Skills Through Community Colleges, as well as others. Representatives of key federal agencies and top business leaders have been invited to participate.
In addition, WDI will again feature representatives from the world of philanthropy to provide current information and suggest ways to collaborate.
Add networking opportunities, exhibitors with cutting-edge solutions, and the great Florida setting, and you have the premier workforce event of the year.
Make sure you plan to stay for the Saturday sessions!
