- Compile list of priority courses
- Engage with instructors (contracting?)
- Produce the live training webinars

JTC remote training initiative
- See the training response initiative wiki;
- what are the pending priorities/needs for the Delivery WG?
- How to build demand?
- It needs to be a national initiative, not MJO by MJO
- Two things are happening at the states (TX perspective): 1) a lot of new people who need intro training, need introductory classes; 2) more experienced tech staff have specific needs for mid to upper level NACT courses, permitting, etc; SI105 takes care of the 101 materials; where do you get intro courses to specific branch staff, e.g., permitting staff
- Some reluctance to dive right into the online for courses that take multiple days, e.g., Gary McCutchen's intro to intermediate permitting courses; concerns about interactivity of online courses
- Offer basic courses online, with the assumption that it's national; MJOs pick a couple of courses: NSR/PSD online and a couple of high demand NACT courses
- What are the classes? permitting, intro NACT courses, pick 2-3 of these nationally and offer them
- Permitting courses would be great and have a lot of interest, not sure which is better intro or intermediate? For a national focus lean on the genral permitting course
- Zac and Jeff propose a couple of courses to the other MJOs
Next Call
