Held annually in very-early December.

The annual 🔵⚙️ Professional Development Academy (PDA) is specifically designed for high school/college-age individuals who plan to enter a career in public safety and provide them with detailed, custom-tailored insights as they embark on the road to landing their Golden Ticket career.

**An additional second day will be added to the Professional Development Academy, in select regions, to help actively serving off-duty first responders learn, teach, network and dialogue about the multilayered concerns facing the modern first responder and their families.
