4. Develop a Training Plan
Begin by describing your general approach to delivering training. The previous section on delivering training provides useful information for this part:

  • What is important to you about how training is conducted?
  • What are some of the constraints you must live within?
  • What standards do you want for all training offerings?

Then review the results of the needs assessment and prioritize the need areas:

  • Which appear to be the most critical and important for building the capacity of FBCOs?
  • In what areas are leaders most eager for help?

Next, determine how organizations will participate in your training events in your project:

  • Will you use both open workshops and closed workshops?
  • Will training be required to compete for a sub-award?
  • How will people register for a workshop?
  • Will you offer a sequence of workshops that allow relationships to form between you and the FBCOs?

This is an important consideration for CCF intermediaries. The Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) RFP states:

Technical assistance conferences and workshops may be parts of an applicant's plan, but they must not be its sole focus of the plan. The plan must also describe how applicants will develop and build upon existing long-term supportive relationships with the faith-based and community organizations within their communities.6

Next, list the workshops you hope to offer that would best meet these needs. Include the number of hours for each. Determine which you or your partners can easily provide and which you will need to find resource people to lead.

Then list all of potential training workshops you want to offer including location, instructors and potential dates. This becomes the working draft of your training calendar. Complete your plan by putting together a budget for all the training activities.
