In July, sixteen dedicated staff members and two committee members from NWEJATC attended the National Training Institute (NTI) near Ann Arbor, Michigan. This annual event is a cornerstone for professional development, offering participants the opportunity to refine their teaching skills and stay updated with the latest industry trends.

This year, the Fourth Year Instructor Group Participants were recognized for their unwavering commitment to becoming better instructors. Their multi-year dedication to enhancing their teaching abilities is a testament to their passion for the industry and their students. A special highlight of the week was the recognition of NWEJATC's Krystal McCann, who graduated from the NTI program. Krystal's achievement is the culmination of many years of hard work and dedication.

The NTI experience not only provided valuable learning opportunities but also fostered a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose among the attendees. As they return to their respective roles, the knowledge and skills gained at NTI will undoubtedly contribute to the continued success and growth of NWEJATC.
