Frequently Asked Questions
A: The National Training Program is an annual event sponsored by Federally Employed Women (FEW). We just celebrated FEW’s 40 th anniversary, and in 2009, we will be hosting our 40 th annual training program. The NTP is a nation-wide training and networking event designed to provide high-quality training for FEW’s members and everyone who recognizes education is a means to achieve career success. The NTP is one of the most comprehensive training programs of its kind. Participants connect with leaders in education, business and industry through training classes, in the expo hall and during special events. Attendees learn more about issues, products and services that they can use in their jobs. A: Attendees include federal civilian and military top staff, senior management officials and officers, line supervisors, and employees representing a wide variety of occupations; including accountants, computer specialists, procurement and acquisition officials, EEO and diversity managers, administrative and clerical specialists, engineers and scientists, park and forest rangers, training specialists, human resource specialists and more.
