Welcome to the Horace M. Albright Training Center, originally established
in 1957 at Yosemite National Park, the training center moved to its current location six years later.

We are a part of several teams
including the national office in Washington, D.C.  (Learning and Development), Indiana University's Eppley Institute, and our host park, Grand Canyon. Hopefully, after you attend a training course here, you will feel a part
of our team as well.

The nine-acre campus is within a mile
stroll of the Grand Canyon's South Rim.
It's an amazing environment for employees to learn about the Agency and its mission, this unit of the National Park System, and themselves.

Lisa Eckert, Superintendent
May, 2009

The Center is named after Horace M. Albright, the second director of the National Park Service. Albright created a vision of agency ideals to accomplish the NPS mission, planting the seeds for future preservation and public service. He spent seventeen years with the NPS leaving a legacy of devotion, service expansion, and preservation.
 
The training center had completed renovations in 2006 that upgraded technology,  energy efficiency, classroom capability, and reconstruction of the student residences. Nearly half a century after the ribbon was first cut, the Albright Training Center continues the tradition of preparing a dedicated, effective National Park Service workforce for the future.
