The Office of Personnel Management has announced that it
has retained the National Technical Information Service and
FasTrac as additional e-Learning service providers, something
it says will benefit government agencies related to the
intelligence community.
It said the Department of Defense and the Department of
Homeland Security would benefit “by linking to government-wide
e-learning content, reference materials, tools, government
community of practice sites, and collaboration group tools.”
OPM said the training initiative gives agencies tools to develop
human capital strategically, and generally reflects a unified
approach across government to support continuous learning.
“Having agreements with NTIS and FasTrac enables OPM to
reach out to more agencies with a larger selection of
products and additional contracting vehicles that complement
the current government-wide e-Learning portal,
www.GoLearn.gov ,” said OPM.
It said golearn.gov has 200,000 registered users who
have completed as many courses, and estimates that the 40
agencies participating in e-training represent millions
of dollars in cost savings.
