Request Training Services

NHQ meeting requests are submitted through the responsible Deputy Chief and to the Deputy Chief for Management via the National Employee Development Center. Please include purpose of the meeting, agenda, and a description of audience or attendees. The Deputy Chief for Management or a designee will review proposed agenda and collaborate with the event sponsor. Tracking system will be established at NEDC to monitor the requests and a summary report will be generated by the development specialist after the event. When you select the link below, you will be prompted to input meeting data. The National Employee Development Center (NEDC) will acknowledge receipt of your request and collaborate with the sponsor. After consultation with an NEDC Specialist, and determined what support is necessary, a series of tasks will be scheduled. The NHQ meeting worksheet is available in “html,” "pdf," or "WORD." This procedure applies to all events sponsored by the NHQ personnel to conduct training, workshops, or informational meetings of all subjects.
