WORKFORCE
“Although demanding, it provided me an excellent opportunity to expand my knowledge and abilities, and added a number of tools to my kit bag as I moved into chief of staff and deputy PEO posi- tions upon completion of the program,” DiMarco said.
In addition to reading assignments and analyzing case studies, students take career-broadening trips, visiting Capitol Hill and combatant commands and attending seminars.
“Te program brings together topics from the strategic through tactical levels while incorporating leadership and interpersonal development opportunities that will definitely enhance your skills,” DiMarco said.
WHO SHOULD APPLY Ideal applicants are GS-14 or GS-15 (or equivalent) civilians who want to advance their careers and serve the Army at a more senior level—particularly civilians who have not had the opportunity for broadening experiences, such as working at the Pentagon or other organizations outside of Picatinny.
Grassano said the program is also for those who aspire to be a member of the Senior Executive Service, a project manager (PM) or in a director-level position.
In addition to Army civilians, other government- or industry- related employees in the local geographic region, such as reservists or Navy civilians, can apply to the SSCF.
“Te fellowship allowed me to forge new relationships and share experiences with professionals from across the acquisition enter- prise—something we don’t often have time to do at our local installation,” DiMarco said. “I highly recommend Senior Service College and the fellowship to those that want to expand their professional tool kit as they prepare themselves for more senior leader positions across the enterprise.”
Te Picatinny Arsenal SSCF is the Army’s fourth. Tere are also SSCF sites in Huntsville, Alabama; Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland; and Warren, Michigan. All the sites participate via video teleconference, with instructors teaching from the various SSCF sites. Tere are breakout sessions within the sites, as well as online and onsite learning.
The next application window is expected to open in late 2019, with classes starting the following July. Acquisi- tion professionals interested in applying can go to https://

ASPIRE TO SENIOR-LEVEL SERVICE?
The Senior Service College Fellowship, now available at Pica- tinny Arsenal, New Jersey, is a good opportunity for civilians who want to serve in project management or director roles, or reach the Senior Executive Service. Civilians who haven’t had a broadening assignment in organizations outside of Picatinny are particularly encouraged to check it out. (Image courtesy of DAU)
