Demanding Standards-Training and Qualifications for Federal Facility Managers

摘要

The demands on a facility manager are considerable and evolving, with an added complexity for those who manage federal facilities. The 2010 enactment of the Federal Buildings Personnel Training Act (FBPTA) provided a set of core competencies federal facility managers needed to attain and retain-essentially the "what" but not the "how." Current facility management community discussions are considering this "how," or if one is even needed. Disparate frameworks between the Department of Defense (DOD), other federal facility managers and the remainder of the community do not serve the public interest nor make best use of the limited resources available to train, educate, certify or register facility managers.
