The purpose of Task Order 1 is to deliver Human Relationship Training to an audience of ten senior leaders in the U.S Department of Education (Department). Participants will be selected by the Assistant Secretary for the Office of Management. The session will serve as the first session of the training and consulting services that can be provided through the underlying Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) awarded concurrently with this Task Order 0001.

The vendor will provide comprehensive human relationship training in a 3 to 5 day class format, depending on class format offered by vendor. This instructor led course will be offered at the Department of Education Headquarters, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC.

This training will address how individuals see themselves, how they relate to internal and external customers and how they actively fit and participate in their organization’s goals and objectives. The course material will provide participants with an understanding of the logic of human behavior and motivations, including practical tools for navigating the human side of organizational and professional life.
