A Message to Our Stakeholders and Friends
Academy stakeholders and friends, please be advised that the health and well-being of our employees, contractors, customers, and the community at large are our top priorities. Therefore, in response to the Gathering Guidance released on 3/11 by the California Department of Public Health in response to the COVID-19, the Academy has canceled all in-person trainings per the guidelines effective March 13 through May 31, 2020. All coaching sessions have been shifted to a virtual platform for this timeframe as well. Prior communication has already gone out to contractors, trainees, and stakeholders advising them of these cancellations. Please note that Academy/Program staff remain available to answer questions and provide feedback, however in accordance with more recent guidelines from our university, all non-essential employees are working remotely from their homes to minimize the spread of COVID-19.
At this time we are exploring the option of virtual training deliveries in conjunction with our county partners for courses deemed most essential. Each Academy program is currently assessing the viability of this option for cancelled deliveries.
Please note that the Academy is continuing to schedule training events after May 31, 2020. However, delivery of these events will be contingent on the aforementioned Gathering Guidance protocols being lifted. We will reschedule in-person trainings once the restrictions are lifted.
Please take good care of yourselves as well as one another, and contact us for any questions or concerns.
We are sharing our comprehensive list of resources in an effort to help during these challenging times.
