FACILITIES MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT PLAN

ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN

TRAINEE

This is a recommended guide to define training requirements based

on the trainee's abilities. Completion of the Facilities

Management Development Plan is based upon several factors.

Specifically, each participant is requested to maintain a folder

or binder in which examples, narrative descriptions, and the

Facilities Management Development Plan checklist are contained.

The Trainer will review each identified training segment when

completed and the Facility Manager will certify completion.

The Trainee's performance evaluations will be affected by the

level of compliance which is demonstrated with respect to

completion of the plan.

The following constitutes the Facilities Management Plan

checklist for ________________.

There are signature blocks for all reviewers and certifiers after

each segment and on the last page of the checklist. The Regional

Telecommunications Specialist will review the entire manual upon

completion of the same for certification.

A monthly progress report will be completed by the Trainee and

the Trainer. This progress report will be included in the Monthly

Facilities Report sent to the Region with the Facility Managers

comments. The Regional Telecommunications Specialist will

forward the reports to the Central Office Facilities Operations.
