ATTENDANCE JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT
The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) is a
non-profit employee advocacy, training and education professional development
organization that executes a preeminent annual Federal Training Institute (FTI).
The FTI is a recognized leader in developing the values and competencies that
are the foundation of public service, transcending individual professions and
missions. This three day training qualifies as training in compliance with 5
U.S.C. Chapter 41.
FTI provides low cost/high benefit quality individual career
development planning that meets federal agency requirements as reflected in the
newly designed programs in and outside government. Attendees benefit from the
recommended career path, designed to establish them as competitive candidates
for selection to upper level managerial and senior executive candidate
positions. The instruction and mentoring offered prepares FTI participants to
meet the challenges of a changing workplace and to recognize, appreciate and
embrace a leadership role consistent with the essential elements required to
become part of the nation�s 21st century workforce.
FTI workshops and forums follow closely the U. S Office of
Personnel Management Development Centers (OPMDC) and the Graduate School, USDA,
training guidelines and grant Continuing Education Units (CEU's). The FTI
faculty includes experts who provide perspectives on key issues affecting the
workplace. These perspectives include strategic integration of human capital
management, effective leadership, budget and performance integration and career
development planning for Individual Development Plans, emerging technologies,
leveraging diversity and equal employment opportunity.
Participation in FTI will benefit Federal agencies through
broadening their employees� abilities to drive organizational results, serve
customers, and build teams, partnerships and coalitions in and outside
government. The enhanced competency of their workforce will result in the
increased ability for Federal agencies to implement their mission in a timelier
and cost effective manner.
