NPS Learning and Development Programs

In keeping with the proposed overhaul of NPS training and development, and symbolic of entering a new age in workforce development, the WASO Training and Employee Development Division has been re-titled the Learning and Development Division.

Dr. Katherine (Kathy) Hanson, Ed.D, has been named the new Chief of Learning and Development. She joins us from OPM's Eastern Management Development Center in Shepherdstown, WV. Also, Lisa Eckert, currently Superintendent at the Jamaica Bay Unit in the Gateway National Recreation Area, has been selected as the new Superintendent of the Horace M. Albright Training Center in the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

Mission Statement

CURRENT EVENTS:
FY2008-FY2009 Crystal Owl Award Procedures

The employees of the National Park Service care for the special places that are the heritage of America. This work requires a wide range of skills in a variety of disciplines. Training and Development activities are designed to help employees fulfill our mission through education, performance improvement and knowledge management. Whether it is in traditional classrooms, self-paced computer programs, classes delivered by satellite television or blended models, we are committed to meeting the charge Director Horace M. Albright gave us in his farewell message in 1933, "Do not let the service become just another Government bureau, keep it youthful, vigorous, clean and strong."
