EDUCATION and TRAINING UPDATE
EDUCATION AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES Te Office of the Army Director of Acquisition Career Management (DACM), along with the rest of the Army, recently has received significant funding
cuts. However, our top priority remains
ensuring that our civilian and military workforce has multiple opportunities to meet statutory certification and development requirements. We will continue to fund those already enrolled in any of our tuition assistance, leadership development or experiential programs. In addition, we are working daily to ensure that future opportunities remain viable. Tat said, we have had to suspend some programs such as the School of Choice, for which we originally planned an announcement opening in mid-FY13. Tere will not be a School of Choice announcement this year.
Te Naval Postgraduate School Master of Science in Program Management announcement is open until May 13 to all eli- gible personnel in grades GS-11 to 15 or broadband/pay band equivalent positions who have met their current position cer- tification requirements. While it is not in beautiful Monterey, CA, this distance learning program provides the required Defense Acquisition University (DAU) training in program management as well as other career field courses, culminating in a master’s degree. For more information, go to http://asc.
army.mil/web/career-development/programs/naval-post g r aduate-school -master-of -scienc e-in-progr am- management/.
Te Excellence in Government Fellowship (EIGF) announce- ment will be open from June 13 through July 15 for all eligible personnel in grades GS-13 through GS-15s or broadband/
pay band equivalent positions who have met their current position certification requirements. EIGF offers senior acqui- sition workforce members the opportunity to network and team with fellow senior leaders from across the govern- ment. Tis program allows them to focus on benchmarking best practices, which they can then implement upon return- ing to their organizations. For more information, go to ttp://

Te Army DACM Office recently published our first Army Acquisition Civilian Leadership Development Plan. Unfor- tunately, there is not one clear path for civilians. Tat would be too easy! Unlike the military, civilians can take hundreds of different routes in their quest for upward mobility. Tis plan is meant as a guide for all levels of the acquisition workforce. Using this model, all workforce members can see what the training requirements are at each level. In addition, they can use this plan to identify desired training opportunities avail- able at upper levels. Each opportunity links to an information page for the program. Please take time to review programs of interest and put them on your Individual Development Plan to discuss with your supervisor.
Te model is broken into four sections. (See Figure 1 on Page 142.) From bottom to top, they are:
Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA)/DAU training—functional required training, from Level I through 400-level courses.
Army Civilian Education System (CES) courses—Army
