I've been with VAL for 2.5 years so far and am proud to work with such compassionate and talented people. I feel supported, respected, and entrusted to apply my skills and ideas to the position, programs, and overall organizational infrastructure. Our current Executive Director is a staunch advocate for VAL students, staff, and programming.
Vermont Adult Learning has a culture of personalized learning and putting students' needs first, and sometimes needs to remember to apply that message to staff as well. The leadership team has demonstrated their commitment to positive change by deciding to expand the DEI team and invest in modern technology to make employees' work lives less stressful.
Cons
Change can be tough - lots of changes in the past 4 years post-pandemic but leadership is staying the path and is dedicated to employees' voices being heard and new ideas being brought to the table.
