DEVELOPING A CULTURE OF INNOVATION THROUGH PURPOSE
experience and expertise to use within the organization.
PURPOSEFUL CAREER PLANNING Each workforce professional is ultimately responsible for their own career path. It is important to properly plan your career development and growth, and map that alongside any personal milestones.
MAXIMIZE DEVELOPMENT

Beeler, commanding general of the Army Contracting Command, speaks to military and civilian personnel at the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI) during a professional development event.

My office has developed career models for officers, noncommissioned officers and civilians in each available functional area. In addition to considering and applying for career development programs, contin- uous learning and training is another easily accessible path available to you now. As our time is invaluable, acquisi- tion professionals, in conjunction with your supervisor, must be purposeful in determining what skills need refreshing or what new skills might be needed for the job you are doing now or expect to be doing in the near future.
The Defense Acquisition University Credential Program provides that timely and job-specific training. Trough the Army Civilian Career Management Activ- ity, acquisition civilians also have access to Udemy Business, an online learning platform with a variety of learning paths, such as the Digital Transformation 2023 Masterclass, which provides foundational skills, from design thinking to creating a digital transformation framework.
KEEP UP WITH THE COMPETITION

CONCLUSION Our most valuable asset is our people, and we’re fortunate to have been given resources to develop individuals and teams and to encourage an entrepreneur- ial mindset. Together, let’s make the most of it through purposeful programs, lead- ership and career planning.
