The Federal Training Institute (FTI)
The Federal Government is in a constant stage of growth and change. A knowledge-based economy and dramatic advances in technology are having a dramatic impact on how government work is accomplished. An increased emphasis on results and rising expectations of service by those it serves creates an additional layer of complexity to how federal agencies implement their missions. America’s diverse and dynamic society requires a special brand of leadership skilled in keeping pace with its changing needs. As a result, the Federal Government Civil Service workforce is changing by becoming more diverse, expecting more flexibility, and creating more vehicles to develop its workforce. As human resource management is reshaped to leverage its employees as capital to be invested in, government agencies are moving to recruit a diverse cadre of people and retain the best through carefully crafted career development and training programs that build strong leaders who can serve America in the future. This three day training is open to all employees; it presents a unique opportunity to develop competencies essential to the new leadership culture in the Federal Government. FTI is dedicated to presenting a recommended progression for maximum development throughout an individual’s career leadership path.
FTI in partnership with the Office of Personnel Management, and other Federal agencies offers a leadership development curriculum that includes situational leadership, conflict management, and strategies for success. Each year FTI builds upon the success of its past curriculum by offering courses that meet federal agency training requirements and directly address each of the five Senior Executive Service Core Qualifications and or new initiatives within the government that may impact the employee development and the community it serves. Listed below are some of the workshops offered:
“Doing More with Less: Effective Process Improvement and Change Management”

“Branding Yourself: How to Create a Professional Portfolio!”

Attendance Justification Statement
The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) is a non-profit employee advocacy, training and education professional development organization that executes a preeminent annual Federal Training Institute (FTI). The FTI is a recognized leader in developing the values and competencies that are the foundation of public service, transcending individual professions and missions.
FTI provides low cost/high benefit quality individual career development planning that meets federal agency requirements as reflected in the newly designed programs in and outside government. Attendees benefit from the recommended career path, designed to establish them as competitive candidates for selection to upper level managerial and senior executive candidate positions. The instruction and mentoring offered prepares FTI participants to meet the challenges of a changing workplace and to recognize, appreciate and embrace a leadership role consistent with the essential elements required to become part of the nation’s 21st century workforce.
FTI workshops and forums follow closely the U. S Office of Personnel Management Development Centers (OPMDC) and other Federal agencies. The FTI faculty includes experts who provide perspectives on key issues affecting the workplace. These perspectives include strategic integration of human capital management, effective leadership, budget and performance integration and career development planning for Individual Development Plans, emerging technologies, leveraging diversity and equal employment opportunity.
Participation in FTI will benefit Federal agencies through broadening their employees’ abilities to drive organizational results, serve customers, and build teams, partnerships and coalitions in and outside government. It may also assist participants charged with the recruitment, retention and development of employees in identifying appropriate practices to improve the effectiveness of each agency's efforts to recruit, hire, promote, retain, develop, and train a diverse and inclusive workforce, consistent with merit system principles and applicable law as required in Executive Order 13583-- Establishing a Coordinated Government-wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce. The enhanced competency of their workforce will result in the increased ability for Federal agencies to implement their mission in a timelier and cost effective manner.
