LearningBuilder Streamlines Professional Development for Federal Buildings Personnel
The Facilities Management Institute (FMI) helps Federal agencies implement the Federal Buildings Personnel Training Act (FBPTA), passed by Congress in 2010 to ensure Federal buildings are operated and maintained at the highest performance levels throughout their lifecycle.
The challenge? Workforce development, at scale.
All personnel responsible for the operation and maintenance of Federal facilities at the building level must demonstrate compliance with the competencies relevant to their positions. The Facilities Management Institute (FMI) needed a way for every individual to see where they stood against required competencies, close their gaps with approved training, and roll that progress up to the office and regional levels.
FMI’s first-generation Skills Assessment Tool proved the concept but could not keep pace with these needs. Their technology partner, PowerTrain, tapped our experts at Heuristic Solutions to deliver a more robust platform.
The solution? Accelerate FM.
Accelerate FM provides a uniform, evidence-driven means to increase existing facilities management performance and outcomes with targeted professional development training. With this tool, FMI can identify individual training needs, organizational objectives, and industry resources so that its workforce may acquire the skills necessary to improve the building performance of GSA facilities.
Powered by LearningBuilder’s competency mapping capabilities, education management functionality, assessment tools, and recommendations engine, AFM helps federal personnel:
- Understand the skills required to manage their buildings to a higher level.
- Find the training resources to acquire those skills.
- Assess and refine their professional development priorities.
Over the last decade, LearningBuilder has supported thousands of professionals in the field of Facilities Operations and Management. Heuristics is proud to collaborate with the U.S. General Services Administration and support FMI toward its goal to promote and accelerate the development of the facilities management profession.
