January 30, 2003 E-Training
Web Site to Greatly Expand On-Line Classes For Federal Workforce
Washington,
DC – Today the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
unveiled the second module of the Gov On-line Learning Center
that will offer a greater selection of on-line courses for
the federal workforce.
“Today's launch of additional virtual
courses through the GoLearn.gov Web site is an important next
step in providing E-Learning services to government employees
around the world. I congratulate the many agencies that are
working cooperatively for the benefit of every federal employee
and for the benefit of the American taxpayer, to whom we are
proving that government can mean efficiency and effectiveness,"
said Mark Forman, Associate Director of E-Government and Information
Technology at OMB.
E-Training, one of the President’s
E-Gov initiatives, provides a single point of on-line training
and strategic human capital development solutions for all
federal employees, reducing instructor and travel costs and
improving human capital management. This important milestone
provides additional on-line training opportunities for Federal
law enforcers and senior executives in the Federal government
through two new virtual campuses, the Federal Law Enforcement
Training Center and the Federal Executive Institute.
E-Government is an integral part of the
President’s Management Agenda to make it easier for
citizens and businesses to interact with the government, save
taxpayer dollars and streamline citizen-to-government transactions.
A copy of the President’s E-Government strategy, which
includes information on each of the E-Government Initiatives,
is available on the OMB Web site at www.omb.gov.
