Through a project called the Regional Training Initiative, NIC provides assistance and funding for the regional training through an organized group of volunteer trainers (Regional Field Coordinators).

Regional training is important to...

...correctional agencies because:
  • Your voice and training concerns are represented at a national level;
  • You gain visibility as an agency dedicated to training and as a provider of national-caliber training;
  • You receive reciprocal support from other regional training efforts;
  • You receive funding assistance to meet training requirements and goals;
  • Your in-kind contributions have a greater impact when coupled with NIC support.
...participating correctional trainers (Regional Field Coordinators or RFCs) because:
  • You will foster your professional development;
  • You will gain a broader perspective on correctional issues, responses, and training strategies;
  • You have an opportunity to work with other bright and motivated colleagues.
...citizens/taxpayers because:
  • Your federal tax dollars are being spent on improving and developing resources in your local community;
  • Training programs and resources developed for your region are re-used nationally to maximize taxpayer benefits.

The success of the Project is made possible by the generous in-kind and funding support of the volunteer agencies and other participating groups. The Project is coordinated by the NIC Academy Division.
