Leadership Overview Management Overview Employee Overview Tools Overview Leadership Logo

From your first day with the bureau, you will begin to build a broader understanding of the bureau as a whole.  As a result, you will gain a sense of the organizational culture, key issues, and an appreciation for the BLM community that makes us who we are.

As part of this process, each employee participates in training that focuses on:

  • building strong interpersonal relationships throughout the agency;
  • appreciating individual differences; and
  • maintaining supportive work environments that enable mission success.

Six opportunities provide the backbone for your development in these areas:
