We are also focusing on bringing educational opportunities local. If you would like to organize a Supervisor’s Toolkit, Leadership Academy, or Drive-in Workshop at your institution, feel free to contact me. This is a great way to educate and train a large number of your employees at less of a cost to your institution.
Last year we gave multiple scholarships to PCAPPA members helping to defray costs for credentialing and educational programs. With another great conference behind us and the wonderful support of our Business Partners, the PCAPPA Board has approved $20,000 in Scholarships this fiscal year!
As you can see, there are many opportunities for professional development. Take advantage of these opportunities and develop yourself. It will make you a more valuable professional and give your institution positive acclaim. Whether your focus is on education or networking PCAPPA has an offering that will help further your career.
The application process is easy. The link will also detail what each scholarship includes. From the PCAPPA Board we wish you all the best as you continue your career professional development.
