“Exceptional potential” Senior Rater Potential Evaluations with clear enumeration in a population and explicit recommendations for broadening assignments, training and executive potential commensurate with the DOD IEP. Command endorsements, particularly where a general officer/Senior Executive Service member enumerated the applicant’s standing within the command, added additional magnitude to the strength of an applicant’s file. Combination of the applicant’s resume and Acquisition Career Record Brief provided content to the magnitude of responsibilities and understanding of their experience with supervisory responsibilities, job complexities and job demands for enterprise thinking.
Cornerstone on Demand, DAU’s new online training (OLT) learning management system only sends a transaction (input) to the Army Training Requirements & Resource System when a student starts/launches a course. Simply registering for a class will not reflect a reservation status. Because of this challenge, when the Army DACM Office DAU Course managers are processing a follow-on resident course, students will be inadvertently denied. Students must ensure they are registered and have launched prerequisite OLT at least 48 hours before applying for the follow-on resident training. Students who have OLT as a prerequisite to a DAU resident training course, must plan accordingly.
