TMB Professional Development Training – Winter 2020
Over the second half of 2019, TMB strengthened our commitment to the ongoing development and training of our personnel. While we have always done trainings, our resources needed to be consolidated and updated and that has been completed through the rollout of a new SharePoint site. Many of our Navy customers have made continuous training a requirement under new contract awards and it makes good sense to be able to “grow our own” analysts. As a company, we would much rather promote from within when new opportunities arise but to do so, people have to be ready to step up to new and more complex work. This SharePoint site will be a “living” library and a resource available to all TMB personnel. The enhanced coursework will provide greater depth in understanding Navy BFM followed shortly by training in our other core competencies including: Contracts Management, Engineering, Logistics and Foreign Military Sales (FMS). We have also begun to offer regular classroom training on a recurring basis to complement our on-line resources. We are currently offering classroom training in “ERP for Beginners” and “Advanced ERP”; “Introduction to NEPS” and “Introduction to Earned Value Management”. All classes are scheduled for roughly an hour and are offered multiple times per month to accommodate client support requirements. In addition to on-line DAU training and focused competency training, TMB conducts monthly “Brown Bag Training” as part of our commitment to ongoing professional training and development. Since 2012, we have repeatedly delivered numerous “Brown Bag” training sessions on various topics related to our support of Navy programs and plan to continue these popular offerings in 2020.
