WORKFORCE
MORE ON THE SIDE While the Digital Foundations credential is open to all acquisition-coded employees, another course exists to target leaders. Te DACM Office has partnered with Carn- egie Mellon University to offer courses to higher-level officers and senior executives as part of the digital foundations pathway, in response to a fiscal year 2023 congres- sional mandate for the services to focus on developing a greater awareness of AI.
In response to that mandate, the DACM Office coordinated an in-person, weeklong Data Driven Leadership course for senior civilian and military leaders at Carne- gie Mellon University, said Susan Clark, DACM development branch chief. “Te course enables progress toward meet- ing our collective digital transformation goals,” she said.
According to the program overview, the course will provide AAW members with
a certificate in Data Driven Leadership, covering six key areas: Data management, data science, decision making, emerging technology, change management, and data privacy and security.
The certificate is a 10-module course where students will participate in group exercises to share experiences and discuss how they would apply what they learned during the course to benefit their career and the current work environment. Ulti- mately, course graduates will be able to assist Army leadership in the development of a robust enterprise data management and data science capability to improve decision-making.
“Te course is very popular and receives excellent feedback from attendees—all of our classes for fiscal year 2024 are full with waitlists,” Clark said.
CONCLUSION Te MOREin’24 campaign also hopes to expand its AI upskilling options during the summer of 2024 and will include the Defense Acquisition University’s AI Foundations for the DOD credential in its offerings. Tis course will help acqui- sition professionals better understand AI projects. According to the course descrip- tion, “students will receive a grounding in the topics of AI definitions and technolo- gies, the AI ecosystem and the importance of data and algorithmic ethics.” Check the DACM Office’s Digital Transformation landing page for updated information later this summer.
Te Digital Foundations learning path- way helps the workforce be agile, ready to adapt to the ever-changing digital land- scape; versatile, mastering skills crucial for modern warfare; resilient, thriving in an environment of constant innovation and evolution; and will position work- force members as leaders in the digital revolution.
“It’s an imperative that we keep pace with their [AAW members] learning, so that we can keep pace with technology, which keeps the Soldier in the field safe and gives them the tools they need to defeat our adversaries and ultimately defend the nation,” Kestner said.
