WORKFORCE
A DIGITAL D IV E
The PPTE digital engineering cohort aims to develop the acquisition workforce through hands-on learning with private sector organizations.
by Rachel Berry T
he Department of Defense (DOD) Public Private Talent Experience (PPTE) program provides DOD acquisition workforce employees with the oppor- tunity to complete a professional assignment by serving for six months with a private sector organization. PPTE promotes increased communication
between government and industry, enables participants to gain a better understanding of industry’s business operations and challenges and facilitates the sharing of innova- tive best practices.
DIGITAL ENGINEERING COHORT In support of the Army’s Digital Transformation Strategy, a number of key stakeholders partnered to leverage PPTE’s fiscal year 2024 program. An opportunity to utilize PPTE as a supportive activity that could increase the digital acumen across the acquisition work- force was first identified by David Gorsich, Ph.D., chief scientist, U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), along with the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Data, Engineering and Software (DASA(DES)) and the Army Director of Acquisition Career Management Office. Leveraging relationships with industry partners within the Army Science Board, the team created an Army PPTE digital engineering cohort with the goal of developing the workforce by learning with hands-on experience. Organizations like Bell Textron, Ford, Te MITRE Corporation and Siemens created digital engineering-specific assignments and hosted an Army digi- tal engineering practitioner for a six-month, immersive digital engineering experience.
