Guidance and Mentoring. The FQRC may, and is encouraged to, provide advice to individual trainees regarding formal training, training assignments, and the pursuit of further qualifications. The committee should be able to provide advice on quality training assignments and proper PTB administration. The committee as a group or individually should be prepared to play this role to employees of the Gila National Forest. Members of the FQRC are expected to be Subject Matter Experts (SME) on committee business, PTB administration, and the direction contained within the FSFAQG on each unit (District or Supervisor’s Office). As SMEs, the committee members must be familiar with agency policy and FQRC protocol to facilitate questions and guidance to Gila National Forest personnel on his or her respective units. Any member may call upon the committee or the Chair for further guidance on questions or advice that can not be resolved at the unit level. The FQRC and/or the Chair may in turn, defer to the Regional Office for further guidance if necessary. Lapsed Qualifications. If currency has lapsed, the individual shall revert to the trainee level in the position for which currency has lapsed and shall be issued a position task book for the position, complete on-the-job-training if needed, complete any additional required training courses which have been added to the position for which they are attempting to recertify and re-qualify in the related position performance assignment. To re-qualify the Gila NF requires a minimum of one assignment as long as the PTB is fully completed. Develop the Forest Shortage Category List. The FQRC will establish a list of positions that are identified as a critical need to Fire Management on the Gila National Forest. This will allow Fire Leadership to identify individuals on the forest to train and mentor toward these target positions identified by the FQRC. These individuals will fill critical position needs in order to free up individuals currently within the Fire Management Organization and rely less on AD’s. This list will be generated yearly and updated as needed. Develop and Document Training Prioritization Criteria. The FQRC will be used to prioritize training to ensure employees within the Fire Management Organization meet FS-FPM requirements and train qualified individuals to the next level of progression. This will also prioritize trainees for fire assignments and training dollars for course requirements. This list will be generated yearly and updated as needed. The Silver City Dispatch group will be responsible for implementation for fire assignments.
