Learn Your Job - Required Trainings

As a new employee with the Corps, there are multiple required trainings that you must complete to learn your job and how to perform it safely. Each employee has an individual development plan (IDP), which is a joint effort developed between you and your supervisor to obtain the training and development you need for your position. These required trainings can be accessed using the Total Employee Development (TED) website. Many of these trainings consist of an initial training and annual refresher trainings to ensure employees maintain a clear understanding of performance and safety expectations. The required courses include but are not limited to:
