- Needs assessments
-
A training needs assessment helps local governments become more aware of the factors to consider and include when developing a training program, help prioritize needs and identify a training budget. This process may consist of an employee assessment using focus groups, interviews and questionnaires and an environmental assessment which inventories existing conditions.
- Bid services
-
As a result of their financial regulations, local governments are often required to issue a "Request for Proposal" or RFP to secure training services. The Government Training Institute can address this requirement by serving as the broker for training proposals. Well over 100 consultants with expertise in professional development have submitted their credentials and references to the GTI staff. Only high-quality, well-seasoned consultants are retained to respond to GTI's requests for customized training. By involving the Government Training Institute at the beginning of your search for training services, you can save yourself and your agency many hours of time that would be spent in developing the legal document, soliciting proposals, and answering inquiries. GTI staff will provide you with at least three to five qualified candidates that can do the specified work within your budget.
