What training currently is available related to site selection and acquisition?
The Site Knowledge Bank is responsible for providing real property acquisition, relocation, and related training, along with national advisory and consultation services. The Site Knowledge Bank schedules and offers training each year to the Regional associates, based on their level of experience, training, and special needs. Class offerings vary each year, depending upon class size, availability, and the specific needs and requests of management and Regional associates. The Contracting Officer Warrant Program (COWP) also offers training. There are specified training curriculums and education requirements for each warrant and level (such as Basic, Simplified Acquisition, Realty Leasing, Real Property Disposal, and Personal Property Disposal). However, there is no training for Site Acquisition under the COWP.
