Intergovernmental Training Council (ITC)
The Intergovernmental Training Council (ITC) began around 1976 when the office of Personnel Management, the Federal training group, met with a group of Austin government trainers to establish a trainer support group. The Council's focus is to bring together government training professionals to exchange information, ideas, strategies, materials and other resource related to Human Resources and Development (HRD) practice. ITC became a formal organization in 1977. The group meets the first Friday of every month at the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired at 1100 West 45th in the Recreation Center, Bldg. #515. The meetings are a "Brown Bag" lunch style with programs and presentations related to training specifically and HRD in general. The membership, about 100, is largely state government trainers and includes some city and federal trainers, as well as private consultants. Meeting attendance is free.
