CrossTalk: The Journal of Defense Software Engineering. Volume 24, Number 3, May/June 2011

Abstract

One of our greatest challenges is how we approach building great teams of people and improving how we recruit, grow, and mature the systems and software engineering professionals who contribute to the nation's critical defense systems. As we continue to address the Recruit-Train-Retain objectives laid out in the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act, we must identify workforce competencies crucial for executing systems and software engineering functions within acquisition programs. In addition, we must enable realistic workforce development efforts by ensuring that these education, training, and experience requirements are balanced with job demands. As illustrated in the featured articles, all components of the department must work together to enhance the capability and capacity of the systems and software engineering workforce through training and educational initiatives.
