The Program's Strategic Plan (thru 2024/2025): Every 3 years the OTA Program Team analyzes the program and identify strategic directions and program changes to make in order to continually improve what we do! The process of formally evaluating the strategic directions of the program will begin in 2023/2024 with a new plan in place for 2025/2026 - 2028/2029. The program's plan aligns with the strategic plan of JCC, while considering internal and external factors the influence the program.
