Can The Department of the Interior pay for my college degree. I am anticipating that I may be subject to a RIF action. The responsibility for training is shared by the employee, the supervisor, agency management, and the agency training and development office. The basic responsibility rests with the employee.
Employees are responsible for being qualified, and remaining qualified, for their jobs.
They are also responsible for keeping their knowledge, skills, and abilities current. Supervisors and managers also have a responsibility. Law requires the heads of agencies to review the requirements of the agency at least once every three years. The agency is also required to review, at least annually, its program for meeting identified training needs. This IDP is cooperatively developed between you and your supervisor to forecast, identify, and schedule individual training and development opportunities to meet mission, organizational, and individual requirements.
