For 2024, we will be teaching several live 3-day classes!
Our Master Ten Step Trainers will:
- Train you in teaching the popular Ten Steps to a Federal Job® curriculum.
- Give you methods for coaching federal resume writing in the winning Outline Format.
- Provide you with the latest information about Federal Human Resources and Federal Hiring Programs. This will include Merit Principles, Veteran’s Preference Hiring Programs, Schedule A, Program S for Military Spouses, Pathways… and much more.
Live In-Person Training Is for You If…
- You learn best in a classroom setting.
- You need a pre-determined set time to complete the lessons.
- You can travel to one of our two learning sites ‒ Maryland or California.
- You’d like to meet and mingle with other students, who will also be federal career advisors.
Here’s What Others Are Saying about Live Training:
“I LOVED the class. It’s great being in class with extremely knowledgeable instructors [teaching] a curriculum that is applicable to all services and sectors!”
‒ Michelle Pike, Airman & Family Readiness Program, USAF
“I really enjoyed the breadth of information provided ‒ not only about the resume but the system as a whole, from the job categories to HR’s perspective and role in the process.”
‒ Kathryn Cranford, Work & Family Life Specialist, USN
“The training was, for me, that last missing piece between what I’d managed to self-teach and talking with agency reps that came to campus or to GCRC… While I don’t teach the 10 Steps curriculum per se, I use everything I learned that week in MD every single day in my work. Without the training I would not be at all confident about helping students write federal resumes or have any real understanding of how the competitive/civil hiring process actually works. I also gained a lot of understanding about working with veterans. My students are interested in Pathways internships [too].
‒ Marie Koko, Senior Career Consultant / Government Careers Specialist
