    Abstract: FedTalent is the Department of the Interior's (DOI) 
shared services system to maintain and validate training records, 
manage class rosters and transcripts for course administrators and the 
student or training recipient, meet Federal mandatory training and 
statistical reporting requirements, and manage other programmatic 
functions related to training and educational programs.
    DOI collects personal information from students in order to 
communicate training opportunities, manage course registration and 
delivery, validate training records necessary for certification or 
granting of college credit, process billing information for training 
classes, and to meet Federal training reporting requirements. 
Information may also be collected to comply with the Americans with 
Disabilities Act requirements to address

facilities accommodations. Training and learning records are maintained 
in DOI's web-based learning management system, and bureau and office 
systems and locations where training programs are managed. DOI bureau's 
offer training programs which extend to external customers; such as 
Universities, State governments, local governments and not-for-profit 
organizations and in some cases private citizens.
    Each year approximately 3,000 external users request to register 
for training offered by DOI bureau's and offices through FedTalent. 
Each registration will require approximately 3 minutes. Upon deployment 
in the Fall 2018, FedTalent will:
     Create an authoritative system of record for all training 
completions,
     Offer a more flexible approach for external training 
requests and documentation (Forms SF-182),
     Create a learning environment that encourages engagement 
on multiple levels,
     Improve the supervisory approval workflow for external 
requests (Forms SF-182),
     Enhance training delivery options, and
     Create opportunities to offer world-class instruction and 
to engage directly with learners through discussion forums and 
communities of practice.
