facilities accommodations. Training and 

learning records are maintained in DOI’s 

web-based learning management 

system, and bureau and office systems 

and locations where training programs 

are managed. DOI bureau’s offer training 

programs which extend to external 

customers; such as Universities, State 

governments, local governments and 

not-for-profit organizations and in some 

cases private citizens. 

Each year approximately 3,000 

external users request to register for 

training offered by DOI bureau’s and 

offices through FedTalent. Each 

registration will require approximately 3 

minutes. Upon deployment in the Fall 

2018, FedTalent will: 

• Create an authoritative system of 

record for all training completions, 

• Offer a more flexible approach for 

external training requests and 

documentation (Forms SF–182), 

• Create a learning environment that 

encourages engagement on multiple 

levels, 

• Improve the supervisory approval 

workflow for external requests (Forms 

SF–182), 

• Enhance training delivery options, 

and 

• Create opportunities to offer worldclass instruction and to engage directly 

with learners through discussion forums 

and communities of practice.
