As an added bonus, we will also provide training on the Department of Defense's new performance appraisal system, New Beginnings. If you work for DoD, you don't want to miss it. If you don't work for DoD, there's still plenty to learn as it could become a model for the rest of the government.
Other exciting courses include:
- Financial Officers
- Representation
- Health and Safety/Workers’ Compensation
- Litigation
- Representational Communications
- New Leaders
- Title 38
- Collective Bargaining Legal Framework

“Education is one of the principles of our Big Enough to Win strategy. It’s very important that AFGE leadership be up to date on our issues and technologies,” said National Vice President for District 7 Dorothy James.
