Evans Inc. Releases 90-Day Framework to Address Federal Workforce Skills Gaps
Evans Inc., a leading federal workforce enablement partner, proudly announces the release of its newest white paper: Bridging the Skills Gap: A 90-Day Framework to Upskill Your Team. This comprehensive guide provides federal agencies with a structured, resource-efficient approach to workforce development during a time of unprecedented staffing constraints and evolving mission requirements.
The framework addresses a critical challenge facing federal operations: how to maintain operational effectiveness with fewer resources while building the capabilities needed for future success. With 31.6% of permanent federal employees eligible to retire within five years and significant skill gaps across mission-critical areas including cybersecurity, acquisition, human resources, and STEM fields, agencies need immediate, actionable solutions.
“Federal agencies can’t afford to wait for perfect conditions to address workforce development,” said Shashuana Littlejohn, Senior Principal of Learning, Development, and Training at Evans and co-author of the framework. “This 90-day approach offers a realistic path forward and transforms workforce constraints into a catalyst for positive, sustainable change by leveraging existing resources to build internal capacity and deliver lasting impact.”
A Practical Framework for Immediate Impact
The Evans framework provides a five-component system designed for rapid deployment.
Key features of the framework:
- Ready-to-implement 90-day timeline with specific actions for each phase
- Resource-efficient strategies including peer learning models and train-the-trainer approach
- Comprehensive 90-day checklist with tactical steps, resource recommendations, and templates for immediate implementation across federal agencies of any size
- Success metrics and measurement templates for tracking progress
- Practical scenarios with fictional federal agencies demonstrating framework implementation
The framework applies the 70:20:10 learning model, emphasizing holistic skill development that fits into existing workflows while minimizing operational disruption.
Built from Federal Expertise
Evans developed this framework by analyzing current federal workforce challenges and drawing from proven organizational development principles. The result is a tool that blends organizational insights with practical solutions for resource-limited federal agencies. The guide includes detailed implementation guidance for resource-constrained environments, recognizing that federal agencies must maximize impact with existing personnel and infrastructure.
