5. Executive Summary (cont) Background • Workforce is changing rapidly with 75,000 Department of Defense employees eligible to retire now • An additional 120,000 coming up on their initial eligibility within the next 5 years and the average DoD employee retires within 3 years of eligibility • We need to work together to attract and recruit talented students in these high demand career fields DAU Point of Contact: Jerry VanDeWiele, Major, USAF, 3100 Research Blvd, Kettering, OH Phone: (937) 781-1059 & Email: jerry.vandewiele@dau.mil

7. Strategic Partnership Concept • Strategic Partnership between DAU MW and Interested Colleges/Universities or other Organization • MOU (written agreement) between DAU MW and the Partner(s) outlining the objectives both parties will ensure get accomplished • Students will sign up to one of 4 options depending on their current academic status • Enroll in Community College and start taking CON or LOG 100 courses as part of their curriculum (could technically start while in High School if enrolled in college) • If currently a Freshman in a 4 year institution, enroll in CON or LOG 100 level courses during the first 2 years, then CON or LOG 200 level courses during their Junior/Senior years. If available/feasible, apply for a co-op during their Junior year • Enter in as a Junior/Senior if already in a 4 year school • Combination of the above programs • Once an Undergraduate Degree is awarded, the student will be able to apply for jobs within Wright Patterson AFB, OH (ASC/AFRL/AFMC) at higher entry starting salaries than an applicant without the CON or LOG coursework (and co-op) • Executive Summary • Potential Players • DAU Strategic Concept • DAWIA Certification – 2 parts (education, experience)

8. Strategic Partnership Concept (cont) DAWIA Coursework Considerations • In the event one of the partnering colleges/universities does not have the appropriate equivalency to teach DAWIA coursework, that partnering college/university will need to work with either DAU and/or Bellevue University for articulation so the student can receive credit towards their degree for taking the CON or LOG coursework online with Bellevue or DAU • Contact Ms. Lori Reed at lori.reed@bellevue.edu for more information on Bellevue’s Accredited & DAWIA approved online Contracting courses (Bellevue does not have Logistics courses approved thru DAWIA)

9. Strategic Partnership Concept (cont) Careers Students who meet all student eligibility requirements may be hired with a salary incentive (Co-Ops) Heightened understanding of Gov’t Contracting & Logistics Degree Certification Increased flexibility within budget. Liaison available to discuss issues concerning DAWIA certification training. Enhanced academic portfolio for recruitment & job placement (CON & LOG Courses)
