Hosts ‒ An Auditorium Option Is Available!

In lieu of classroom-style training, there can be a live open-enrollment auditorium program for your entire base and jobseekers. This can replace the practice Ten Steps training. Other alternatives are having the Ten Steps auditorium program provided by the Ten Step Master Instructors one evening OR on a separate day. The Auditorium Ten Steps program can help you introduce the Ten Steps curriculum and generate interest for the program. You can introduce your workshops and bring federal job search clients to your office from the open enrollment classes.

Taught by Our Master Ten Step Trainers

Kathryn Troutman, Emily Troutman and Charles Clark will deliver the program at your center. They will analyze resumes from your own staff databases, as well as review your resume formats and your current curriculum and methods. Being onsite, the training team can supply you with all you’ll need to make Ten Steps to a Federal Job one of your most popular workshops.
