CG Institute ESO Orientation


The Coast Guard Institute is pleased to provide a two day "ESO Orientation Workshop" here in Oklahoma City. The workshop is designed for new Full-time and Collateral Duty ESOs. Experienced ESOs who desire a "tune up" are also encouraged to attend. Workshops will be held on Wednesday and Thursday the third week of every other month and are limited to 8 personnel.

This workshop does not replace the online ESO Course that is currently in development. The workshop is designed to provide the fundamental skills and knowledge a new ESO needs to begin their duties and provides an orientation to the role of the CGI and its relationship with the field ESOs. Each attendee will be provided briefings and hands-on training with every business line of the CGI and meet the staff of the CGI.

Commands will be expected to provide TAD funding.

We encourage you to consider this opportunity and look forward to seeing you in Oklahoma City!
