created the LULAC Convention which hosts the LULAC Federal Training Institute (FTI).

The Federal Training institute is an intensive and structured career development program for

Management (OPM) and other Federal agencies, the Federal Training Institute offers

workshops and plenary sessions that enable government employees to enhance their
