FY08 Life Cycle Logistics Core Plus DAWIA Certification Framework

1. FY08 Life Cycle LogisticsCore Plus DAWIA Certification Framework April 20, 2007

2. Background FY08 Life Cycle Logistics Core Plus Options Decisions Questions to Consider Road Ahead Agenda

3. Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act • In 1990 Congress adopted the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) • Created the legal foundation for the central management, planning, and development of today’s DoD Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L) workforce • The purpose of DAWIA is to improve the quality and effectiveness of DoD’s acquisition process by enhancing capabilities of the AT&L workforce • DAWIA outlines general authorities and responsibilities of the Under Secretary of Defense for AT&L (USD(AT&L)) • Established Career Field certification requirements • 13 Functional Career Paths • Three Certification Levels – based on Education, Experience, and Training

4. FY04 NDAA DAWIA II Congressional Intent As part of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2004, Congress amended the 1990 DAWIA legislation with new language, known as DAWIA II Greater Management Flexibility House Conference Report (108-354, page 725)(for HR1588) Flexibility to establish different experience, educational, and tenure requirements for acquisition positions Establish a single acquisition corps Streamline obsolete and outdated DAWIA provisions

5. What is Core Plus? Common acquisition foundationalknowledge and skills Career field foundational knowledge and skills Other functional and cross-functional point-of-need training (assignment specific, frequently CLMs)

6. Core Plus is the “next certification framework” outlined in of AT&L Human Capital Strategic Plan Workforce Goal 4 (“Provide learning assets at the point of need to support mission-responsive human capital development”) Why Core Plus? “The next certification framework will leverage improved competency-management, the AT&L Performance Learning Model (PLM), and provide more flexibility and control for leaders, supervisors, and individuals to determine what training is required to meet mission needs and support job performance. This framework, called Core Plus, increases engagement of the workforceby using core multi-dimensional learning assets and resources. This construct will make more learning assets available to individuals and organizations at their learning point of need…”

7. “Implement Core Plus framework across AT&L functional areas by Sep 07 (Dir HCI, and Functional Advisors)” “Establish learning strategies to drive continuous learning and performance outcomes (Engaged Learner, Core Plus, unit cohort training, etc.)” Implementation Plan

8. Advances AT&L Competency Management Model The right learning – better focus The right people – focused on competency needs The right time – better connection to job needs Minimizes “scrap” learning by eliminating Wasted or irrelevant content – students who don’t need it Wrong time – students forget by the time they need it Helps facilitate the “Engaged Learner” Embraces life long learning Increased assignment specific work Increases modular course content Facilitates cross-functional integration with other career fields Competency-based and performance focused Value Proposition for AT&L Workforce

9. Core requirements based on (or expanded) current FY07 DAWIA certification requirements Used SPRDE template as starting point For standardization, we are recommending to Core Plus WIPT that all career fields use similar structure Cross-walked CNA draft life cycle logistics competencies with DAU learning assets (CL modules & courses) from all functional disciplines Gap analysis will be factored into FY08 CLM priority development list and planned course revisions Incorporated AWCM Logistics Position Category Description (PCD) information Life Cycle Logistics Core-Plus FrameworkDevelopment Methodology

18. Training Approve Draft FY08 Functional “Core” Certification Requirements Select “Plus” Approach Option 1 - Acquisition Logistics & Sustainment Tracks Option 2 - Acquisition Logistics, PBL, SCM/Distribution, & Maintenance Tracks Option 3 - A modified (or new) option Level III Acquisition “Core” Certification Requirement Status quo (no new requirement) New Level III requirement (e.g., PMT 250 Program Mgt Tools Course) Specific Decisions

19. Experience Status Quo Retain existing 1-2-4 years experience requirement Increased Rigor 2-4-8 year model (similar to Program Office SE) Education Status Quo No mandatory academic educational requirements? Increased Rigor Four year Baccalaureate Degree mandatory at Level II and/or Level III Specific Decisions (Continued)

20. How do we encourage AT&L personnel to take advantage of what is clearly recommended (“Plus”) in addition to mandatory (“Core”) training requirements? How do we encourage long-time Level III certified personnel to take courses that have subsequently been updated or are new requirements? Note: DoDI 5000.66, para E2.2.9. Competency Development After Level III Certification states “Once the individual has completed Level III certification in their primary career field, he or she is expected to continue professional development through training, education, and assignments. Continued competency development and continuous learning efforts are expected by all AT&L workforce members.” Is now the time to consider expanding size of AT&L LCL Workforce with more sustainment personnel from traditionally non-acquisition logistics organizations? Questions to Consider

22. BACKUP SLIDES

23. What is the breakout of the approximately 12,500 Life Cycle Logisticians by DAWIA certification level? What is the breakout of those logisticians in traditional acquisition logistics vs. sustainment organizations? What is educational level (by service) of those Logisticians; e.g., Some or no college, Baccalaureate, Masters, PhD? Workforce Demographic Questions

24. Advent of Competency Management, Core-Plus, and DAU Curricula upgrades makes this an opportune time to consider increased professionalization of the LCL workforce Increased rigor in training requirements? Increased educational requirements? Increased experience requirements? Workforce Profesionalization
