TRAINING 3
Training & Performance Improvement

Since 1981, TRAINING 3 has served as the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Region III Family Planning Training Center. Located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and one of ten such national training centers, TRAINING 3's primary charge has been to help ensure that family planning staff and programs throughout Region III have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to deliver effective, quality family planning services. Over the years TRAINING 3 has evolved into a comprehensive performance improvement center, identifying and responding to the job performance-related needs of a variety of family planning, health care, and social service programs. This is achieved nationally and throughout Region III by designing, delivering, and evaluating the most effective training and other performance improvement interventions. TRAINING 3 is a program of the Family Planning Council and supported by the Office of Population Affairs and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Health and Human Services.

The purpose of the MTC is to help improve delivery of family planning and reproductive health services for males in Title X-supported health and social service settings. The MTC has five major aims designed to make information, resources, and learning opportunities accessible for staff working in Title X services: 1) national partnership building; 2) development, compilation, coordination, and dissemination of training information; 3) design and facilitation of training events; 4) translating research into practice; and 5) capacity building of Title X training, research, and service grantees.
Established in 2009, the MTC is a program of the Family Planning Council and a collaboration with Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, School of Medicine, Center for Sexually Transmitted Disease and Reproductive Health Research, Prevention, and Training.
The MTC is supported through a cooperative agreement with the Office of Population Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services, and works closely with its Office of Family Planning to organize and implement project activities and to support Title X priorities, legislative mandates, and key issues.
