| Explanation.
To determine the type and number of courses needed to fulfill the training needs of NRCS employees for the next 5 FYs, M&S will work with the Employee Development Section (EDS) and the National Technology Support Centers (NTSC) to analyze collected data and use results along with other considerations to plan for future training needs.
Training Officers should work with their respective Leadership teams to determine training needs. The Career Planner located at https://usdagcc.sharepoint.com/sites/FPAC-NRCS-MSDA/cp and the FY 2023 Individual Development Plans can be used as tools for this effort.
To request courses, review the FY 2023 EDS and Technology Center Course List in Attachment A and enter all required course information into the Training Needs Forecast Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in Attachment B. Upload completed spreadsheets to the M&S Strategic Support Services Division (SSSD) SharePoint site located at: Training Needs Forecast (sharepoint.com). Follow the steps below to complete and upload the spreadsheet.
1. Download and save the Training Needs Forecast Spreadsheet and FY 2023 EDS and Technology Center Course List.
2. Enter the following information into the Training Needs Forecast spreadsheet.
a) Enter Training Officer Contact Information.
b) Enter the State/Center/NHQ Area.
c) Enter requested EDS courses and seat counts per FY.
d) Enter additional requested EDS courses that are not currently offered, and seat counts per FY.
e) Enter the top six requested NTC courses and seat counts per FY.
f) Enter additional/adhoc requested NTC courses/subject areas that are not currently offered, and seat counts per FY.
3. Save the spreadsheet, add the State/Center/NHQ Area to the file name, and upload to the SSSD SharePoint site at: Training Needs Forecast (sharepoint.com) by dragging and dropping the spreadsheet or using the “upload” button.
Permissions to the SharePoint site were granted using the Local FPAC Training Officers/AgLearn Administrators Contact List at: ECC Portal Resources - Local FPAC Training Officers/AgLearn Administrators Contact List (servicenowservices.com).
