Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Center for Achievement in Public Service (CAPS) is the State of Vermont’s statewide training center and offers “elective” classes for state employees and municipalities who enroll at their own discretion or at the recommendation or referral of their supervisor or manager. CAPS also runs other programs which may require a guest trainer on subject matter built into a larger training program (e.g., Vermont Leadership Exploration and Development (VTLEAD), a multi-course leadership curriculum designed to provide extensive practice and application opportunities). Training curriculum should identify current trends and provide expanded knowledge of a subject(s) to broaden and increase the State’s workforce and municipality’s knowledge through theory, skill-based learning, and practical application. Curriculum should focus on organizational development to build change and achieve greater effectiveness by increasing competencies in the skills needed in today’s workforce to grow and retain employees. Various delivery approaches will be used to heighten engagement and support learning styles to include in-person, located at the CAPS Training Facility or elsewhere around Vermont, virtual utilizing MS Teams, Zoom, other compatible platforms (authorized by the state) or hybrid environment.
