instructors used in the training. Most training was done by Bureau senior staff, but the program also utilized University Professors and specialty consultant trainers. The training that had the most focus on Bureau project management procedures was taught by in-house instructors who were senior experts on the subject. Subjects that were more generic and/or specialized were taught by outside instructors. As shown in the table, the core objective of the training was to enhance the skill of engineers so as to allow promotion into management positions responsible for the entire project delivery process. These core training areas were comparable to other agency core training areas2.
