Next FGDLA Webinar

GLTS Webinar: Supercharging Training Operations: The Acadis Readiness Suite

Moderated by:  Ari Vidali Founder & Chief Strategist Acadis | Vector Solutions

When:   Wednesday, July 9, 2025 at 2:00 PM  Eastern Time (US and Canada)

About: In Federal environments, managing training operations is not a side task; it is the mission. From coordinating complex schedules to ensuring compliance with evolving requirements, the demands placed on training and education teams are constant and high stakes. We will look at how the Acadis Readiness Suite can automate and simplify the most critical training processes. We will start with a 10-minute recap of our first webinar outlining why modernization is essential for Federal agencies and what is at risk when operating in siloed or outdated systems (Link to May 21, 2025 FGDLA Webinar).

Then, we will move into a hands-on demonstration of how Acadis is helping Federal organizations drive efficiency and accountability across their training programs. You will see how the platform supports:
· Centralized training management
· Complex scheduling for multi-role environments
· Automated registration and approval workflows
· Streamlined testing and performance tracking 

The platform is designed with the goals of saving time, reducing cost, and improving training outcomes—without compromising compliance or mission-readiness. If you are responsible for training operations within a Federal agency, this session will give you actionable strategies to modernize your approach using purpose-built tools for your environment.
