Trustees Institute for Jointly Managed Training & Education Funds

Monday, January 23 - Wednesday, January 25, 2012
Paris Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV

As the economic recovery progresses, trustees and Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC) members of training funds face the challenge of making sure their industries’ workforces are positioned to compete for the highly skilled jobs of a new global economy. This means that training programs must have the tools and resources needed to prepare their workers for the next generation of jobs. The Trustees Institute for Jointly Managed Training and Education Funds addresses those current challenges, and will assist trustees and JATC members in reevaluating their training programs in light of the new economic reality and government focus on plan operations.
