Civil Rights Training
Every year, USDA employees must complete mandatory Civil Rights training.
2008's mandatory training entitled "Re-inventing Diversity for Today's USDA" was installed on each employee's AgLearn learning plan in November 2008. The training was also available in CD and hard copy formats. All USDA employees permanent, temporary, students, and contractors were required to complete the mandatory training by January 31, 2009. Please contact your Area ODEO Program Manager for additional information and/or visit the AgLearn website.
Non-mandatory training on such topics as team building, communication skills, diversity, etc., is available via videos, DVDs, and books maintained in the ODEO video library. Please access our ARS ODEO EEO video catalog online on our website to review such information.
