Who is responsible for implementing the LETP?

The implementation of the Local Employee Training Program (LETP) is primarily the responsibility of BNSF management and training departments. This is because these departments are integral to the development and delivery of training initiatives that align with organizational goals and employee needs. They are tasked with ensuring that the training is relevant, comprehensive, and reflective of industry standards.

BNSF management plays a crucial role in identifying training requirements, allocating resources, and ensuring that training aligns with the company's strategic objectives. The training departments focus on the logistical aspects of training delivery, such as scheduling, materials preparation, and evaluating training effectiveness.

In contrast, while the human resources department may support training initiatives, their role is generally more about administration and support rather than direct implementation. Employee representatives could provide input or feedback on training effectiveness but do not have direct responsibility for implementation. External training consultants might be utilized for specialized training but do not oversee the overall LETP framework within the organization. Thus, the combined efforts of BNSF management and training departments are essential for the effective implementation of the LETP.
