Overview[]
The E-training Initiative provides a premier electronic training environment to support the development of the Federal workforce. The initiative advances the accomplishment of agency missions through simplified and one-stop access to E-training products and services. E-training works to enhance the ability of the Federal Government to attract, retain, manage, and educate the highly skilled professionals needed for a flexible and high-performing government workforce.
The E-training Initiative benefits the government and the Federal workforce by:
- Reducing redundancies; achieving economies of scale; acquiring and developing e-Learning content; purchasing learning technology infrastructure (e.g., Learning Management Systems, Learning Content Management Systems and other information technology hardware/software) through five commercial e-Training Service Providers; and consolidating and sharing hardware and software;
- Offering user-friendly access to a high-quality E-training environment; and
- Encouraging e-Learning investments is part of the strategic, systematic, and continuous development of Federal Government human capital.
