Assessment of DoD Job Skill Enhancement Programs.

Abstract

In response to Congressional direction, an assessment was undertaken of programs developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) that can be made available to civilian organizations to provide immediate support and assistance to upgrade skills for better civilian employment opportunities. The assessment focuses on interactive courseware (ICW) programs and their transfer to non-DoD activities. Several initiatives have been undertaken by the DoD to effect this transfer, but three sets of issues remain to be resolved: (1) specific civilian instructional requirements must be articulated; (2) methods must be developed to overcome fundamental differences between instructional materials that support the warfighting missions of the DoD and the instructional needs of non-DoD activities; and (3) resources and responsibilities in non-DoD activities must be allocated for determining civilian requirements, modifying instructional content, reprogramming, marketing and producing, warehousing, and distributing materials.
