ITA Hosts a Professors’ Forum Panel at the 2nd Annual Integrated Creative Arts Therapy Conference to Discuss Recent Developments and Issues in Training and Education
In the last several years there has been much fodder regarding the ever-changing climate of the workplace and professional environments as result of the new generation’s job preparation and expectations. The “Millennial” phenomenon discussion transcends the Creative Arts Therapy community, but the impact is apparent in many training programs. In response, ITA is asking the big questions: Is there change happening in the University settings? Have there been successful changes made at the University level that training programs can adopt? What are some of the most significant areas of impact? What are the professors seeing and how can the field support them and their students?
