USACE Collaboration and Public Participation Center of Expertise: Training Options

Training Corps personnel in the use of collaborative tools and processes is a fundamental goal of the CPCX.

CPCX updates and improves the content and delivery of USACE conflict resolution and public participation training through:

  • Providing training for District Engineers and Senior Executive Service (SES) members
  • Bringing training to independent Field offices
  • Revising and advising selected Huntsville courses
  • Providing short sessions at Leaderships USACE conferences
  • Representing USACE in appropriate forums as experts on these topics
  • Ensuring that new tools such as interactive modeling and software for negotiations are effectively integrated into field applications
