Train the trainer Bootcamp - SOW.docx

Statement of Work Bob Pike Group’s “Train-the-Trainer Bootcamp” Military & Family Readiness Center, Hanscom AFB, MA 01731

1. Scope:

Hanscom Air Force Base community members must stay to the left to effectively enforce prevention efforts to reduce interpersonal and self-directed acts of violence. In order to achieve this goal, installation personnel requires a new set of skills for trainers to maximize participant retention and engagement. The Integrated Prevention & Resilience Office, Hanscom Helping Agencies, volunteers, and Hanscom installation personnel require a “train the trainer” resource that will provide instructors with a quantity and variety of training tools and techniques to implement educational programming both in-person and virtually, without a decline in impact or learner engagement and which dovetails with the adult training methods already provided in 2020 that focused exclusively on virtual training environments.

2. Requirements:

The Train-the-Trainer Bootcamp must be relevant and usable for the trainers and permit application to the specific content and audience, as well as provide a variety of practical and creative training techniques that have ease of application and positive impact on participants. The workshop enables the participant to update/revise training curricula using interactive techniques and strategies. The training will be an in-person, instructor-led course at Hanscom Air Force Base, MA. Training methodology must 1) leverage best practices in adult learning to maximize understanding; 2) provide a framework and process to apply existing curricula and evidence-based content enabling the creation and facilitation of engaging learning experiences; 3) emphasize outcomes of the assessment to meet goals and support audience needs and leaning types; and 4) provide resources to implement and sustain participation-centered training methodology across disciplines, agencies, and time. Immediate application of these techniques is critical to support resilience and violence prevention training, soft skills/foundation training, and other already established curricula presented by helping agencies.
