Training

The Partnership and Community Collaboration Academy provides applied training in 22 partnership and community collaboration competencies, as defined by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

We support an inclusive community of practice. Academy training is open to all practitioners in partnership and community collaboration. Federal employees and individuals from state and local agencies, nonprofits, associations and tribes enrich the peer learning experience for all participants. 

Since the first Managing by Network webinar offered in 2008, the Academy has helped partnership practitioners explore practices, build skills, and learn from their peers. Our interactive training invites participants to take an active role in webinar discussions and apply course content to their current responsibilities.

We place the needs of our participants first, in curriculum design and scheduling. We invite, listen to and act on informal and formal feedback. We support open communication inside and outside of the classroom. Contact us to help your agency or organization.
