Last week, the NOCTI/NBS team came together to align on goals, discuss future priorities, and explore new opportunities to support educators, industry partners, and workforce development leaders.

Alongside strategic discussions and goal setting, we enjoyed a pasta-making class that sparked creativity, encouraged teamwork, and gave us a chance to have some fun along the way. We even caught a glimpse of the solar eclipse, adding a special moment to an already memorable week. ☀️🍝

We're energized by what's ahead and excited to continue building the future together.
