JUVENILE CORRECTIONS EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP

DSG made an assessment of the Juvenile Corrections Executive Leadership training course. In conjunction with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators developed the training course, also known as the Facility Director/Superintendent Training, to help strengthen the leadership in juvenile facilities and improve the care of youth in juvenile justice facilities nationwide.

The training course consisted of a) a live, in-person, instructor-led component, b) a supplemental webinar component, and c) a supplemental coaching call component.
