Participants attend off-the-record events with former senior officials to learn their perspectives on current foreign policy and national security problems. CPP students also receive negotiation training, engage in expert-led crisis simulations, and complete a project requiring them to work in bipartisan groups to formulate common-ground policy approaches to a current, relevant problem. In 2015 PSA ran two courses of the Congressional Partnership Program (CPP). Congressional staffers from both sides of the aisle in the CPP participated in: 1) off-the-record events with former senior officials offering expert perspectives and guidance on tackling security threats facing American policymakers today; 2) negotiation training and expert-led crisis simulations; 3) bipartisan working group projects seeking common ground policy approaches to current foreign policy and national security challenges; and 4) organized numerous off-the-record PSA alumni events for former CPP participants featuring distinguished speakers with diverse backgrounds in government and foreign policy. 145693 0 0 In 2015 PSA convened the first two meetings of an international working group of former high-level civil servants and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) officials.
