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.
