Training

OSY offers security and emergency management training in person and online. Course examples include the following. 

General Security Awareness Training

A General Security Awareness Training Course available on the Commerce Learning Center (CLC) provides an overview of the best practices for enhancing your personal safety and security in a variety of settings. Participants will learn tips for reducing risk in day-to-day activities and specific occurrences such as walking on the sidewalk, using public transportation, traveling by vehicle, and attending mass gatherings. The importance of maintaining situational awareness and reporting suspicious activity is also detailed.

The DOC General Security Awareness Course is accessible via the CLC site and is available to all DOC users with a CLC account. You can locate the course using the search feature in the upper right corner of the main CLC landing page and searching DOC General Security Awareness.


Counter Threat Awareness Training (CTAT)

CTAT fulfills a Department of State mandatory training requirement for all personnel traveling internationally for less than a cumulative 90 days for the calendar year. CTAT is not required for, and does not include, non-official (personal) international travel.

Proper handling, disseminating, safeguarding, and storage of NSI.

Original Classification Authority (OCA) Training

Information related to one of the categories of information identified by Executive Order 13526, the loss or unauthorized disclosure of which has been determined, would damage the United States’ national security. Such information may only be classified by an individual who, by position, has been designated an OCA. An OCA must complete training annually to perform the function.

Location: In-person


Security Debriefing

As clearances belong to a position, not the employee, employees separating from the Department of Commerce for any reason—e.g., retirement, resigning, or transitioning to a new Department or Agency—must receive a security debriefing and endorse the Security Debriefing Acknowledgement portion of the Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement or SF 312.

Location: In-person at HCHB on Fridays at 1:00 p.m. Personnel not located at the HCHB should contact their Field Security Office.
