Maintaining Technical Currency of Program Office Personnel.

Abstract

Technical obsolescence of scientific and engineering personnel has been indicated as a reality by several studies conducted in civilian industry. The results of this study showed on the other hand that it was not felt to be a significant problem by program managers in the DoD. The study was conducted by mailed questionnaire to program managers in the three Services. In fact, they felt that the technical management capabilities of their people were actually enhanced. Training programs are abundant in the Services but their utilization was low and no clear value could be determined on their worth. The study was an exploratory one and as such opened up many other questions to be pursued. (Author)
