The goal of this project is to develop a training program for CJCC chairs and executive directors to build and strengthen the skills of CJCC leaders and enhance the overall effectiveness of CJCCs.
Objectives
The following are objectives the awardee must meet to successfully satisfy this scope of work:
- Identify and convene a curriculum development work group to be approved by the NIC program manager.
- Identify or hire a facilitator, with final approval by the NIC program manager, who will lead the curriculum development work group sessions.
- Develop a training development process to identify, develop, and provide feedback/review of all training materials.
- Identify training performance measures for each identified topic in an ITIP format.
- Develop a CJCC training curriculum to be delivered as an NIC training program using NIC provided templates. This includes the development of all training curriculum materials (e.g., facilitator’s guide, participant manual, presentation slides, handouts, and other needed training resources).
- Pilot the curriculum to evaluate and capture any necessary revisions to the curriculum. This includes providing and hiring a team of trainers (2 to 3 with approval from the NIC program manager) to facilitate and deliver a minimum of one offering of the pilot curriculum. This involves working with the NIC Program Manager to manage needed training logistics, including the selection of a training date and site. NIC will be responsible for participant travel funding as needed.
- Finalize all curriculum training materials using NIC’s ITIP model. This will include the facilitator’s guide, participant manual, presentation slides, handouts, and other identified resources. NIC will make final approval of the entire training package.
