The term Information Technology can mean a lot of things. But what does IT look like and what all is done when it’s within a government agency, especially now in an age of emerging technology or AI.

In this episode, we look at how DYS is helping advance safety and improve the lives of young people, families, and communities through our IT team.
Panelists include: Chief Information Officer Brian Hernandez, IT Project Manager Kara Peterson, and IT Manager Shawn Davis.

Every workplace has a training process. At DYS, we have a Training Academy. The people there provide a foundation of knowledge and skills for hundreds of new employees each year. They also help seasoned staff grow by providing professional development and other various trainings through the evolution of evidence-based practices.

The panel that discusses how it all comes together includes Superintendent Dr. Anna Wise, Technology-Based Training Developer Sara Bowling, and Academy Training Developer Sheila Fryson.

DYS is always looking to evolve and advance its efforts to improve outcomes for the youth in our care and our staff. This conversation delves into the data the agency collects and how it’s applied to advance that mission through our Best Practices Institute.
The panel includes Executive Director Dr. Jordan Argus, Policy Administrator Benita Neely, and ACA Administrator Shanequah Frazier.
