Just an update

April was both a wet and busy month at the Training Center.

We graduated 22 new correctional officers on 4/15/2011.  Please welcome them to corrections if you see one of them at your work-site.

Advance Communication Techniques Training for Trainers is currently running in classroom one.  There are twenty one of them; they are working hard and doing many role-plays.

I have posted the video from the 110th and 111th Vermont Correctional Academy on YouTube.com.  You may view them there or wait for me to post them here.

Here is a list of some of the events that will be running at the Training Center in May...
