Successful diplomatic activity and development assistance rely on hiring, training, and retaining the highest quality workforce. Our workforce must stay on the cutting edge through professional development and distance learning that fosters the diplomatic, technical, managerial, and leadership skills needed to meet the challenges of the future. To help achieve this, the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) offers a wide variety of training in professional tradecraft, foreign language, leadership and management; as well as transition assistance for personnel (and their eligible family members) transitting between domestic and overseas assignments or into retirement. Additional opportunities are also available through FSI's External Training Program and through Distance Learning programs that allow you to take training at your own pace and wherever you have an Internet connection.
