Stay Ahead of Annual Mandatory Training
Don’t do what you did last fiscal year trying to finish the classic annual mandatory training marathon in the wee hours of the night just to be in compliance with statutory requirements.
Instead encourage yourself and your employees to complete all mandatory training ahead of September 30th.
In the latest Civilian Annual Mandatory Training MARDAMIN, MPC 30 shares a different approach to eat that training elephant one bite a time.
Here’s what they suggest…
Make it a Monthly Affair
Tie mandatory annual training with an associated awareness or prevention month.

Still Unsure of What All Needs to be Completed?
Rest assured, a comprehensive and authoritative list of all training may be found at https://www.manpower.usmc.mil/WFD.
Remember…training is recommended to be completed in the Total Workforce Management Services (TWMS), Navy eLearning, or by Command mandatory training stand-downs. Command delivered training or training taken through other sources must be documented in TWMS.
