CTIP training required for UCI Published Oct. 22, 2009 By Airman 1st Class Adawn Kelsey 82nd Training Wing Public Affairs SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- There are many Advanced Distributed Learning Services training modules that will be inspected for completion during the Unit Compliance Inspection at Sheppard in late January. One very important module is the Combating Trafficking in Persons, which is a module within the Human Relations CBT. UCI inspectors have marked this specific training down because it is often incomplete in ancillary training. "This training is something that everyone must do," said 2nd Lt. Nikita Brown, 82nd Force Support Squadron Readiness officer in charge. "It's being marked down time and time again in inspections at other bases. We need to have 100 percent compliance by January." She said one way to do this is by coordinating with the unit training manager, and the base training manager, to make sure everyone has completed it. The CTIP training includes education on coercion, commercial sex acts, involuntary servitude and several forms of trafficking in persons. CTIP is required for all Air Force Military and civilian employees to include non-appropriated fund employees. It is required for all local national employees in a direct-hire status by the Department of Defense, and is optional for contractors. Lieutenant Brown said that there are flyers concerning the CTIP training posted on all the secretaries' desks bulletin boards. She said she will be at Sheppard , Nov. 3, manning a booth that will have information concerning CTIP. For questions you can reach Lieutenant Brown at 676-3374.
