WORKFORCE
NO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
Twenty-five warrant officers completed the Talent Acquisition Course on July 11, 2024, at Fort Knox, Kentucky, to become talent acquisition technicians—the Army’s newest military occupational specialty, 420T. Soft skills, like leadership and critical thinking, go hand in hand with the technical requirements of the acquisition workforce and are vital to becoming an effective acquisition professional.

our investment in acquisition workforce upskilling, allowing us to keep an advan- tage over our adversaries.
As we move forward in the new year, the Adaptive Acquisition Framework continues to provide new pathways for accelerating delivery of capability to the force and requires that every acquisi- tion professional has access to innovative learning opportunities that keep our workforce current and ready to support the warfighter. It is our duty to dream big and create the space to be adaptable and reliable, while maintaining the integrity of our programs and ensuring longevity for the future of the workforce. Along- side our training opportunities, from the basics to advanced, it is also essential that we put a spotlight on the soft skills that can help push forward our professional and personal growth.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT CALLS FOR PERSONAL REFLECTION I am proud of the advances we’ve made in providing exciting and engaging learning opportunities for our workforce members. You and your supervisors can work within our framework to create a learning path that best suits the requirements of your given priorities and the hard skills neces- sary to advance in your career.
While you work with your supervisor to identify areas of advancement, your career development also demands moments of purposeful reflection to recognize poten- tial areas for personal growth. Soft skills, such as leadership and critical thinking, go hand in hand with the technical require- ments of the acquisition workforce and are vital to becoming an effective acquisition professional.
As a member of the acquisition work- force, it is your responsibility to develop the skills necessary to benefit the Soldier. Gone are the days that mandated years of preparation before taking any action. It is our individual responsibility to evolve, adapt and anticipate the future needs of service members. I encourage you to consider how you can build these soft skills through a combination of our formal training offerings and opportunities for growth throughout your day-to-day work.
For example, the DACM Office offers specialized programs, such as Inspiring and Developing Excellence in Acquisi- tion Leaders and Leadership Excellence and Acquisition Development, that give our emerging civilian leaders the oppor- tunity to take part in programs that are geared towards enhancing the leadership acumen of the Army’s civilian acquisition
