The training will encompass various formats from one-hour virtual sessions to three-day intensive workshops, with a requirement for instructors to have a minimum of 10 years of leadership training experience. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the NAICS code 611430 for Professional and Management Development Training has a $15 million size standard.
