Cultural resources management program needs assessment

A work group composed of Washington Office, State Office, District Office, and Phoenix Training Center personnel met on January 17-18, 1989, and undertook an assessment of the skills needed by personnel involved with the cultural resource program in order to function effectively in this program. The work group agreed at the outset that BLM has limited capability, from the standpoint of money and staff, to develop and offer extensive new formal training. For this reason, the work group developed recommendations that could realistically be met, combining training and non-training options.
