Part 1 of MITA’s SE educational program (Virtual webinar series Jan-June) is now complete and will be available online, until the close of the project in December. 

 

Part 2 of MITA’s SE educational program is in production. Instead of doing live weekly meetings with panelists, we are recording each informational session with the subject matter experts and will have approximately 30 hours of recorded training sessions. They will be released in groups of 4-8 video courses weekly starting August 6th and will be available online at mita-az.org for applicants to view 24/7 until December 2021.

 

Part 3 of MITA’s SE educational program will begin September 18th, 2021. This will be an all-day summit to provide in-depth information about opportunities and the application process after the “community of interest” locations are decided by DHS on September 1st, 2021. Town hall style events will continue through October 2021.

 

Part 4 of MITA’s SE educational program (“Now What Do We Do?”)  will be in person for license winners. January 2022 – more details to follow.
