2013
Annual Conference
The
Race to Recovery -
Reinventing
& Retooling the Engines of Workforce Development
The
2013 IAJVS Annual Conference took place April 21-23, 2013
at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center in Detroit
Michigan.
As
always, an invaluable part for conference attendees is the
networking opportunities allowing for casual discussion and
sharing of information across the IAJVS network. Conference
attendees thoroughly enjoyed JVS Detroit’s outstanding welcome
reception at the Henry Ford Museum with wonderful food, music,
memorabilia and mingling.
The
favored conference session was Sharing the Wealth - Annual
Program Showcase where a spotlight was shone on a variety
of impactful programs delivered throughout the IAJVS network.
Other
well reviewed conference sessions included Employers as
Customers where FEGS Health and Human Services and JEVS
Human Services demonstrated techniques for building a staffing
model and sustaining relationships with employers; Dr. Claudia
Osborn’s Over My Head: A Doctor’s Own Story of Head Injury
from the Inside Looking Out ; and the Washington Update
where the National Skills Coalition’s Andy Van Kleunen
spoke about how funding, reauthorization and larger skill
debates are playing out during the second Obama Administration.
