The pre-NTC Conference VE and VE-JV Orientation Day includes two separate sessions—one for VE and one for VE-JV. Each session is offered on two different dates, with identical content, so new facilitators are only required to attend one. These orientations are designed to provide the foundation necessary to get the most out of the NTC Conference and to prepare you for launching your VE or VE-JV program.
The National Teachers Conference is an annual event for educators involved in the VE program, providing a platform for networking, sharing best practices, and learning new strategies for engaging students in business education. Attendees participate in training workshops, panel discussions, interactive sessions, demonstrations, and have opportunities to engage with industry professionals and experts in the field. The conference aims to enhance the VE program in classrooms by providing new resources, tools, and insights for educators to prepare their students. We look forward to your participation!
