Acquisition Personnel Training

Acquisition Personnel Training on Human Trafficking (CTIP-AP-US012)

Over the past decade labor trafficking and sex trafficking have occurred in U.S. Department of War government contracting. Due diligence on the part of Acquisition Personnel in the various stages of the award process (pre-award, post award, during performance and at close of contract) can prevent human trafficking in government contracting. This training focuses on signs and indicators of human trafficking and how to respond appropriately if trafficking is suspected or uncovered in the contract award process. There is a companion Toolkit that may be accessed outside of the training for those that want quick access to training resources.
