Custom, On-Site Training
All of our programs can be tailored for private on-site
training.
If your in-house government relations pros
don't have time to train, our custom training can give your staff a leg up
and help new people fit into your Washington operations. We design each
custom training program to meet your educational and training goals, and
then select faculty who can best meet those objectives and who are best
suited for your attendees.
We have tailored hundreds of
private on-site training programs for
agencies,
Congress, military, law and lobbying firms, unions, foreign delegations, associations
and corporations that show how Washington works.TM
For example, many associations and coalitions
rely on us to increase the effectiveness of their annual
Capitol Hill Day
programs.
Custom training from
TheCapitol.Net is unique:
Our materials--We
provide both training and publications that show how Washington
works. Our publications were
designed to be used as course materials in our programs and
as reference tools. Each attendee leaves our programs with the
knowledge they gained from the course plus valuable reference
materials for the future.
Our faculty--We have
more than 150 faculty members who
are all independent subject matters experts. We are able to
design a program and select the best faculty member for each
session.
See our
Sample Agendas
for a few examples of programs tailored for our custom, on-site clients, and
see
what our clients say about our custom on-site training.
Our
Portable Wi-Fi ClassroomTM
is available for your custom program.
Capability
Statement

We help your staff and members
better understand Washington and Congress. TM

training can increase the effectiveness of your organization, please contact
