Regional Training Opportunities
NISH encourages regional training to meet the unique
needs of NPAs across the country and offers support
through its National Office for additional training in the
six NISH regions. NISH hosts training programs at the
request of NPAs and based on the results of regional
needs analyses. Again, participant feedback counts!
NISH and the National Council of Work Centers
(NCWC) also offer training on a regional basis. These
programs are designed to assist NPAs participating in
the AbilityOne Program. Regional and NCWC programs
meet regional needs and address regional issues.
NISH's goals are to educate new NPAs about AbilityOne,
provide NPAs with a history of AbilityOne participation
with the most current information on NISH and
AbilityOne, and to review changes in the way NPAs do
business with the Government. Attending these regional
training sessions provides many benefits. Regional
training opportunities allow NPAs to meet and network
with one another. Of equal value are the lessons learned
from fellow NPAs. Those involved in AbilityOne always
enjoy sharing information about their successful
projects! Additional information on the dates and
locations of Regional NCWC Conferences is available
from the NISH Regional Offices.
Continuous Improvement and Feedback
NISH's continued success depends on its customers.
NISH is committed to constantly improving its training
and looks to customer feedback to help it meet
that goal. NISH values customer participation and
suggestions. Instructors distribute course evaluation
surveys at every session. Please complete and return
these forms so that NISH can continue to improve its
service. Thank you!
NISH encourages everyone to participate in training
events that best meet current needs and requirements.
The following information, including the standards
for AbilityOne performance excellence, leadership
competencies, supervision competencies, and project
management competencies, is provided not only to
help individuals select the courses that offer the best
outcomes and skills to be successful, but also to
help individuals establish a training plan that grows
with them.
