The Office of Personnel Management has consolidated
its e-training programs within USALearning.gov.
Formerly known as GoLearn.gov, the new site combines
offerings and services of all three e-training
initiative service providers, FasTrac, NTIS, and
GoLearn, and had been renamed to align with USAJOBS,
said OPM.
It said that as of the third quarter of fiscal 2005,
900,000 courses across 123 government entities had
been completed through all the e-training systems
combined. The site offers many free online courses
available to federal employees.
As part of the consolidation, a new e-Training
Advisory Council will support OPM’s e-training project
manager by advising on the strategic direction of the
initiative, identifying how service providers can
support the initiative and agencies, as well as
analyzing industry practices and providing a forum
for agency HR leaders to resolve the challenges and
management of human capital, according to OPM.
“The council provides a valuable, unified voice in
tackling challenges that are faced by learning
practitioners and human capital managers in agencies
large and small,” said Jeff Pon, chair of the council
and acting project manager for the e-Training
Initiative.
