You may use appropriated funds from your Bureau or Office. Payment of training for Interior employees by other Federal or public sector agencies is also permissible. Payment of training for Interior employees by non-profit entities is permitted if there is no direct or indirect monetary benefit derived by the non-profit entity. In general, payment of training for Interior employees by private sector entities is discouraged. However, there may be unusual circumstances where the employee and the Department may benefit from such training. Clearly, such training must not result in any direct, indirect, or monetary benefit to the private sector entity. Check with your ethics official to determine if there is any potential legal or conflict of interest issues for payment of training by non-profit or private sector entities. | |
