Making Sense of the 2025 Trump Federal Workforce Executive Orders
Each presidential administration brings its own priorities and policies to the White House, but the speed with which the Trump Administration has issued Executive Orders regarding the Federal workplace is unprecedented.
In this 60-minute review, participants will receive up to-minute guidance on what several new Federal workplace-related Executive Orders cover and how to ensure compliance with each.
Attendees will learn the details related to returning to in-person work, abolishing DEI programs, accountability, and merit-based hiring, as well as guidance on how to “formulate appropriate and effective civil rights policies for the Executive Branch” and “advance the policy of equal dignity and respect,” as required under the new Executive Orders.
Learning objectives
- Comply with all Executive Orders issued by the new administration.
- Identify the changes that need to be made immediately.
- Recognize what is covered under the new Executive Orders – and what is not.
Executive Orders and Memoranda discussed will include:
- Return to In-Person Work
- Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity
- Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing
- Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government
- Restoring Accountability to Policy-influencing Positions within the Federal Workforce
- Plus more
Event FAQs
Is there any flexibility with course durations for Agency Direct training?
Yes. Many agencies have requested that full-day courses be taught over two half-days to ensure maximum engagement, especially when the course is being taught virtually. Any course can be spread out over multiple days or condensed into shorter sessions. And shorter classes can often be combined to build longer courses covering more topics. We’ll be happy to discuss the options that are most convenient to you.
In what format is this class held?
The class may be held onsite at an agency location, or as a live virtual event. Virtual events are generally held using your agency’s platform (Zoom, WebEx, Teams, etc.). In certain situations where FELTG hosts, the event will be held on Zoom or Teams.
Can I earn CLE credits for this class?
CLE applications are the responsibility of each attendee; FELTG does not apply for the credits on behalf of attendees. If you are seeking CLE credit, you may use the materials provided by FELTG in submission to your state bar. You may also request a certificate of completion which will contain the number of training hours attended.
Is this Training Compliant with the 2025 Executive Orders?
All FELTG classes are in compliance with the Trump administration’s Executive Orders.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Training Courses
Can I attend Virtual Training from my government computer?
FELTG uses Zoom to broadcast our Virtual Training Institute events. Many government computers and systems allow Zoom access. If for some reason your firewall will not allow access, you’re welcome to use your personal email address to register, and to attend the sessions from your personal device.
Can I share my access link with co-workers?
No. Registration for each event is per individual, and access links may not be shared. Each link may only be used by one person.
Can I register a teleworker?
Each event is individual registration, so the cost is the same whether the person is teleworking or in an agency facility.
How do I receive a group rate discount?
Group rates are available for agencies registering 10 or more individuals. Group discounts end the same day as early bird registration. Please see the event description for exact details.
