Description |
The vision of this government-wide initiative
is the creation of a premier e-Training environment that supports
the development of the Federal workforce and advances the accomplishment
of agency missions through simplified and one-stop access to e-Training
products and services. E-Training is working to enhance the
ability of the Federal government to attract, retain, manage, and
continuously educate the highly skilled professionals needed for
a flexible and high-performing government workforce.
In addition, the e-Training Initiative benefits the government
and the Federal workforce by:
- Reducing redundancies and achieving economies of scale in the
purchase and/or development of e-learning content and in purchase
of learning technology infrastructure (e.g., Learning Management
Systems (L M S), Learning Content Management Systems (L C M S)
and/or other Information Technology (I T) hardware/software),
consolidation, and/or sharing of hardware/software wherever possible;
- Offering user-friendly, one-stop access to a robust and high-quality
e-Training environment; and
- Encouraging e-Learning investments as part of a strategic,
systematic, and continuous development of Federal government human
capital.

Progress to Date |
- Launched Module 1 (7/23/2002) which completed an initial rollout
of the GoLearn.gov site including a variety of free, high-interest,
and mandated courses.
- Launched Module 2 (1/31/2003) which included additional free
courses and approximately 2,500 fee-for-service courses that contain
such user and managerial tools as virtual classrooms and evaluation
tools, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), and 65
IT security courses.
- Launched Module 3 (9/17/2003), which established the Competency
Management Center based on the Chief Information Officer Council's IT Workforce
Development Roadmap for assessing employee competency gaps and
identifying relevant training opportunities. In addition, Module
3 enhanced the user registration process and added e-Mentoring
to GoLearn.gov.
- Launched Module 4 (9/30/2004) with additional competency and
skill assessment tools for HR, Acquisition, and Financial Management,
as well as additional learning services organized around an initial
Communities of Practice tool set.
- Enhanced the GoLearn.gov site (10/1/04) with an improved user
interface and easier site navigation to strengthen the learning
experience for new and experienced e-learners.
- Completed 314,952 courses since program inception through Fiscal
Year 2004. This number is inclusive of courses completed on GoLearn.gov
and any customized courses developed through the E-Training Initiative.
- Registered 441,537 users since program inception through Fiscal
Year 2004. This number is inclusive users of GoLearn.gov and any
registered users of learning management systems developed through
the E-Training Initiative.
- Engaged 71 participating agencies accounting for approximately
$57 million in Fiscal Year 2004 cost savings/avoidance.
- Established an e-Training Service Provider Consortium (eTSPC)
to provide additional e-Learning solutions under the auspices
of the Initiative.
|
Next Steps |
- Continue to oversee and support the migration of agencies to
an eTSPC solution.
- Finalize the formal governance structure for the e-Training
Advisory Council (ETAC), the Enterprise Architecture Working Group
(EAWG), and Voice of the Customer (VOC). The E-Training Initiative
will rely on these groups to develop standards and processes,
and assist the Program Office with monitoring adoption by the
Federal government of common, core e-Learning solutions.
- Move forward with the evolution of the government-wide site
(GoLearn.gov) from a Learning Management System to a portal connecting
Federal e-Learning resources under a coordinated, government-wide
framework
