Title X Staff Training Plan Toolkit
Welcome to the Toolkit
Staff working in Title X-funded projects are expected to receive training on select topics either annually or once per project period. Additionally, training strengthens staff capacity, and having a training plan can be useful to ensure that staff stay up-to-date on their skills and also receive professional development. Having a plan and structure for tracking staff training can help ensure that Title X projects meet this expectation.
The goal of this toolkit is to outline the two different ways the RHNTC supports Title X agencies to create, implement, and track the completion of their—and/or their networks—training plans.
Use the first section of the toolkit to refresh yourself on Title X staff training expectations.
The next two sections outline two different approaches for creating training plans and tracking staff progress:
- Option 1: Use the web-based RHNTC Training Tracking System.
The RHNTC website allows users with a special Training Administrator account to create a customized list of training resources that can be shared with staff at their agency or grantee network, track completion of those trainings, and download a completion report. These website features are collectively referred to as the Training Tracking System. Anyone can request a free RHNTC Training Administrator account. - Option 2: Use the standalone RHNTC training plan resources.
As an alternative to the web-based system, Title X agencies can use and adapt a group of resources to meet their family planning project’s training tracking needs.
Choose a section to review based on which option will work best for your Title X agency.
Refresh yourself on Title X Program training expectations.
Review the staff training expectations in the Title X Program Handbook.

Review the RHNTC Federal Title X Training Requirements Summary, which outlines topics that staff should be trained on with corresponding training resources.

The RHNTC also offers stand-alone tools that are not web-based for those who prefer not to use the RHNTC Training Tracking system. These three resources help plan which training should be completed by your staff, assign each training to individual staff, and log when staff completes their training assignments. Agencies can use these resources by following the six steps below. If you adapt these three resources, make sure that your changes are consistent across all of them.
1. Training coordinator creates or reviews a Title X Family Planning Training Plan.

2. Training coordinator communicates training assignments to each individual staff member by adapting the Individual Staff Training Log and sharing with each staff person to complete.
