               Inspectors General 

FROM:          Robert I. Cusick         
               Director

SUBJECT:       Online Ethics Training for Government
               Contractors

     The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) has created an online course called “Interacting with Government Employees for Contractors.”  The course is an interactive web-based training module that is designed as an introduction to some of the most common ethics questions that contractors might encounter when they work with Government employees.  It covers some of the ethics rules and principles that apply to Government employees, and is intended to help contractors avoid conduct that might cause a Government employee to violate an ethics rule or law.  The course may be useful particularly for contractors who work closely with Government employees in the Government workplace. 

     The course may be found on OGE’s website under “Computer and Web-based Training":http://www.usoge.gov/pages/comp_web_trng/cwt_modules/ogegovctr_wbt_07/10.html

     Please send any comments on the training to: specialprojects@oge.gov.
