EnCompass provides training and facilitation services to USAID employees at USAID/Washington and missions worldwide. In partnership with the Office of Human Capital and Talent Management (HCTM), EnCompass designs and delivers training throughout all phases of institution and individual development, from new employee orientations to management and leadership programs. The EnCompass team focuses on both technical skills and interpersonal skills to support employees’ growth from within so they are better equipped to address complex development issues in the field.
The EnCompass approach incorporates the application of blended learning options, strengths-based and experiential approaches, and adult learning theory.
