OPM TMA Experience
As an OPM TMA prime contractor, Carney has created over 100 hours of highly effective interactive, multimedia training and performance acceleration solutions for agencies that include the Department of Justice, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI), Defense Security Service Academy (DSSA), and United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
Department of Justice
Through OPM TMA, Carney customized an award-winning Department of Defense Information Assurance Awareness (IAA) Training course for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ Computer Security Awareness course engages learners with realistic scenarios and enables users of DOJ-owned information systems to meet the legal requirement for completing annual computer security training.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
The Federal Aviation Administration's Aircraft Certification Service (FAA AIR) is tasked with training the staff that inspects aircraft. Evaluating the efficacy of these courses is a critical task for the agency. Through OPM TMA, Carney was engaged to evaluate the courses and work with FAA instructors to refine them. These upgrades more closely align the courses with the critical current skill and knowledge requirements and present a richer learning experience to enhance retention for the learner. To learn more about Carney's work with FAA AIR, see "Assessment and Evaluation Case Study - Federal Aviation Administration's Aircraft Certification Service (FAA AIR)" and "Program Management Case Study - Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)".
Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI)
To provide quality instruction, learning, and performance support opportunities to civilian agency acquisition workforce professionals around the world, FAI relies on contractor support to develop, manage, and administer the associated instructional systems design activities. Through OPM TMA, FAI selected Carney to provide the learning-related services, including analysis, identification, and specification of projects and programs; representation of FAI in various forums; management of ISD and development efforts for those projects that are approved by FAI; creation of online courseware and instructor-led training; and coordination of Carney's FAI learning-related activities with those of other FAI Teams. To learn more about Carney's work with FAI, see "Strategic Human Resource Management Case Study - The Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI)".
Defense Security Service Academy (DSSA)
As part its mission to provide important training for security professionals, the Defense Security Service Academy (DSSA) partnered with Carney to offer courses by taking advantage of proven distance learning technologies, including web-based training (WBT). Through OPM TMA, Carney has developed an ongoing series of courses which includes over 50 courses and 75 hours of courseware. The award-winning courseware developed by Carney enables DSSA to reach more learners faster than DSSA's traditional classroom training.

United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
USAID's Bureau for Management, Office of Administrative Services, Information Records Division (M/AS/IRD) is responsible for the overall management of the USAID's records program. Through OPM TMA, IRD contracted with Carney to create a web-based course for implementation on USAID's learning management system (LMS). The 2-hour course ensures USAID employees have the knowledge and skills to satisfactorily manage and care for all Federal records that come into their possession.
