Training & Development Solutions for State & Local Government

At a glance

Pediment Mindworks partners with state and local government agencies on frontline supervisor development, mandatory compliance training, and organizational performance work — delivered through the same leadership academies, cohort-based programs, and on-demand training formats public-sector buyers already use. Every engagement is scoped and quoted individually against your agency's headcount, delivery format, and procurement requirements, and mandatory compliance training is one of our core, recurring on-demand solution areas for this sector.

05 Compliance training

Mandatory compliance training: a core, recurring solution

Broad audiences and stable content year over year make compliance training one of the strongest fits for our On-Demand Learning Development service in this sector.

  • PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) training for corrections/detention staff

State & local government general workforce

  • Sexual harassment prevention training (e.g., California requires 1 hour for non-supervisory and 2 hours for supervisory employees; similar mandates exist in New York, Illinois, Connecticut, Delaware, and Maine)
  • Workplace violence prevention training (e.g., California SB 553 requires a written prevention plan plus annual training for nearly all CA employers as of July 2024)
  • EEO/Title VI/Title VII and anti-discrimination training
  • ADA compliance training
  • Ethics training for public employees and officials

08 FAQ

Common questions from government buyers

Does Pediment Mindworks work with state and local government agencies?+

Yes. State and local government is a core, distinct vertical for Pediment Mindworks, covering frontline supervisor development, first-time manager programs, and mandatory compliance training (sexual harassment prevention, workplace violence prevention, ethics, records retention, mandatory reporter training, and justice-sector training like CJIS Security Awareness and Crisis Intervention Training). See /government/ for the full breakdown.

Does Pediment Mindworks build mandatory compliance training?+

Yes. Compliance & Regulatory Development is scoped by module length, because longer statutory minimums require more content, more interaction checkpoints, and more assessment. We regularly build 30-minute single-policy modules, 60-minute modules sized to meet common 1-hour statutory minimums (like California's non-supervisory sexual harassment training requirement), and 120-minute modules sized to meet 2-hour minimums (like California's supervisory requirement). Each is quoted individually. Requirements vary by state and role — confirm current requirements with your legal or compliance counsel. See /government/ for the full category list.

How much does leadership training cost per employee?+

It depends on delivery format and headcount, so every engagement is quoted individually rather than sold off a rate card. Self-paced eLearning is licensed per person, with volume tiers that lower the per-person rate as headcount grows. Live cohort-based training is quoted flat per cohort rather than per person, so the effective per-person cost falls as you fill the cohort. Tell us your headcount, preferred format, and timeline through the contact form at /contact/ and we'll send pricing.
