A Renewed Focus on Recruitment

Abstract

The Diversity, Inclusion, and Recruiting Division of the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) is a relatively new division within DCMA's Human Capital Directorate. Like many agencies within the Department of Defense and the federal sector at large, DCMA's workforce is facing the challenge of an aging workforce, 63 percent of whom can retire within the next 5 years. That 63 percent represents tremendous years of acquisition experience, skill, and knowledge that are not easily replaced from within the civilian labor force, considering the requisite skill, abilities, and security clearance requirements DCMA candidates must meet to fill our key acquisition-series positions.
