SEC. 1008. IMPORTANCE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TRAINING 
TO NATIONAL SECURITY. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that— 
(1) the Department is a crucial national security 
agency, whose employees, both Foreign and Civil 
Service, require the best possible training at every 
stage of their careers to prepare them to promote and 
defend United States national interests and the health 
and safety of United States citizens abroad; 
(2) the Department of State’s investment of time 
and resources with respect to the training and edu-
cation of its personnel is considerably below the level 
of other Federal departments and agencies in the na-
tional security field, and falls well below the invest-

ments many allied and adversarial countries make in 
the development of their diplomats; 
(3) the Department faces increasingly complex 
and rapidly evolving challenges, many of which are 
science and technology-driven, and which demand the 
continual, high-quality training and education of its 
personnel; 
(4) the Department must move beyond reliance 
on 
‘‘on-the-job 
training’’ 
and 
other 
informal 
mentorship practices, which lead to an inequality in 
skillset development and career advancement opportu-
nities, often particularly for minority personnel, and 
towards a robust professional tradecraft training con-
tinuum that will provide for greater equality in ca-
reer advancement and increase minority participa-
tion in the senior ranks; 
(5) the Department’s Foreign Service Institute 
and other training facilities should seek to substan-
tially increase its educational and training offerings 
to Department personnel, including developing new 
and innovative educational and training courses, 
methods, programs, and opportunities; and 
(6) consistent with existing Department gift ac-
ceptance authority and other applicable laws, the De-
partment and Foreign Service Institute may accept

profit corporations, and other appropriate sources to 
help the Department and the Institute enhance the 
quantity and quality of training offerings, especially 
in the introduction of new, innovative, and pilot 
model courses. 
(b) TRAINING FLOAT.—Not later than 90 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State 
shall develop and submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees a strategy to establish a ‘‘training float’’ to 
allow for up to 15 percent of the Civil and Foreign Service 
to participate in long-term training at any given time. The 
strategy should identify steps necessary to ensure implemen-
tation of the training priorities identified in subsection (c), 
sufficient training capacity and opportunities are available 
to Civil and Foreign Service officers, equitable distribution 
of long-term training opportunities to Civil and Foreign 
Service officers, and any additional resources or authorities 
necessary to facilitate such a training float, including pro-
grams at the George P. Schultz National Foreign Affairs 
Training Center, the Foreign Service Institute, the Foreign 
Affairs Security Training Center, and other facilities or 
programs operated by the Department of State. The strategy 
shall identify which types of training would be prioritized,

of 
State, 
any 
factors 
incentivizing 
or 
disincentivizing such training, and why such training can-
not be achieved without Civil and Foreign Service officers 
leaving the workforce. In addition to training opportunities 
provided by the Department, the strategy shall consider 
training that could be provided by the other United States 
Government training institutions, as well as non-govern-
mental educational institutions. The strategy shall consider 
approaches to overcome disincentives to pursuing long-term 
training. 
(c) PRIORITIZATION.—In order to provide the Civil 
and Foreign Service with the level of education and train-
ing needed to effectively advance United States interests 
across the globe, the Department of State should— 
(1) increase its offerings— 
(A) of virtual instruction to make training 
more accessible to personnel deployed throughout 
the world; or 
(B) at partner organizations to provide use-
ful outside perspectives to Department personnel; 
(2) offer courses utilizing computer-based or as-
sisted simulations, allowing civilian officers to lead 
decision-making in a crisis environment; and

(B) the chief of mission course to more ac-
curately reflect the significant responsibilities ac-
companying such role. 
(d) OTHER AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES.—Other na-
tional security agencies should increase the enrollment of 
their personnel in courses at the Foreign Service Institute 
and other Department of State training facilities to pro-
mote a whole-of-government approach to mitigating na-
tional security challenges.
