Future Acquisition and Technology Workforce

Abstract

Since the mid-1980s, the Department of Defense (DoD) has focused on increasing the professionalism of the acquisition workforce. These efforts have included, among other activities, the passage of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA), the establishment of the Defense Acquisition University (DAU), expanded training opportunities through the DAU consortium schools, and the issuance of a Continuous Learning Policy. The 1 April 1998 Secretary of Defense report to Congress, Actions to Accelerate the Movement to the New Workforce Vision, identified and described an urgent need to transition the workforce to meet the needs of a future acquisition environment. The Future Acquisition and Technology Workforce Working Group, and its product (this report), are the culmination of a series of studies conducted by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and the components to support the initiatives described in the April 1998 report to Congress.
