  12. Engineering Representatives:Lou Hamm, Kewal Kohli • Applied Engineering • Bond Cost-Estimation • Excess Spoil Handling • Subsidence • Underground Mining • TIPS Engineering

  13. Coalfield Communications: How to Get it Right! • Building Trust through Effective • Communication • Managing the Media • Effective Meetings • Educational Outreach

  14. FY 2007 PLANS • SMCRA Oral History & Video • ITC (1-2 sessions) • Pilot Master Instructor Forum • Development Reforestation Course • On-line Registration through LMS • Make course references and other materials available on-line • 57 course sessions are scheduled for FY07

  15. NTTP/TIPS Five Year Program Planning Survey Purpose: Identify changes in workforce over the next 5 years and plan to meet training needs Respondents: Program Directors Results: Q 1: Changes in Workforce • Very significant turnover (35-75%) over 5 years • Most programs will stay the same size • Trend is slight decrease in program size • Exception: OSM technical offices Training Needs: • Inspection, Permitting, Bonding, Remote Sensing, Electronic Permitting
