Working with you to achieve mission success For 100- & 200-Level Courses Need a photo (or collage?) or something that transitions to mission statement Think the V22 photos from the n:\ The purpose of this briefing is to provide DAU faculty with a tailorable presentation designed to provide information to Defense Acquisition Workforce members attending resident training 100- and 200-level courses at the Defense Acquisition University. It helps answer the question: “What does DAU have to help me get certified and do my job more effectively?” Working with you to achieve mission success

Enabled to Support the Acquisition Workforce 10 USC Ch. 87 - Sec. 1746: “The Secretary of Defense … shall establish and maintain a defense acquisition university structure to provide for the professional educational development and training of the acquisition workforce.” Key points: DAU was mandated by Congressional legislation that was signed into law in 1990 as a key organization to help professionalize the Defense Acquisition workforce. Our original emphasis was on certification training—and this is still our most significant product. In the 21st Century, however, in addition to training courses delivered only in the classroom, DAU has online courses, continuous learning modules, and knowledge sharing assets. Together these learning assets create a “global learning environment” that is available anytime, anywhere to the workforce. DAU Mission: Provide a global learning environment to develop qualified acquisition, requirements and contingency professionals who deliver and sustain effective and affordable warfighting capabilities.

Located with our customers Region Location FY14 C/NE Fort Belvoir, VA 33,421 Mid-Atlantic California, MD 29,570 Midwest Kettering, OH 21,126 South Huntsville, AL 33,876 West San Diego, CA 32,472 Total 150,465 DAU made a conscious decision in 2001 to locate its faculty and staff at regional campuses aligned with major concentrations of the Defense Acquisition Workforce population. These regional campuses allow us to offer courses “locally”—saving travel dollars and cutting down on time away from home for the workforce. In addition, because our faculty are located close to major acquisition organizations, they can do more than teach. They can go to the acquisition organizations and provide Mission Assistance (tailored training, information about major changes to acquisition policy, and consulting support) to help these organizations address program, business or technical issues and achieve better acquisition outcomes. By helping acquisition organizations, our faculty also maintain currency on current acquisition practices thus making them more relevant in the classroom. We are part of the community, not just a place to take classes.

These recognized experts in their field. They, along with their staff, look across the entire curricula to ensure appropriate content, sequencing, and delivery. They closely interact with the Acquisition Functional Leaders and their Functional Integrated Process Teams (FIPT). In some cases the Center Director also serves as the Executive Secretary and/or Chair for the Functional Leaders FIPT. The Functional Leader is responsible for establishing and maintaining the career field competencies and determining which one must be included in certification training. The Center Director is responsible for converting those competencies into learning assets, predominately, courseware. They also work closely with the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, other Federal Agencies and industry to capture the latest initiatives and best practices in order to disseminate information to the workforce by a variety of means to include AKSS, various Communities of Practices [COPs] and Special Interest Areas [SIAs]).

Earn College Credits For Your DAU Courses DAU partners with more than 100 colleges & universities to obtain credit for DAU courses toward degrees and certificates “Excel-erate” Your Master’s Degree… Through this program, partner universities are offering the Defense Acquisition Workforce credit toward masters degrees for DAWIA Level II and III certification. DAU has more than 100 strategic partnerships with universities, other governmental agencies, professional associations, and defense industry companies. Of primary interest to our students are our partnerships with universities and colleges. The purpose of these partnerships is to obtain credit for DAU courses towards the degrees and certificates offered by these educational institutions. By obtaining graduate or undergraduate credit for DAU courses, workforce members can earn their degrees more quickly and at lower cost, thereby meeting their DAWIA certification education requirements or enhancing their qualifications for promotion. In addition, some universities also offer DoD students discounted course costs because of these strategic partnerships.

Helping Meet Continuous Learning Requirements One of the key DAU transformation initiatives was to provide learning assets to the Defense Acquisition Workforce 24/7 to help them do them perform their jobs more effectively The DAU Continuous Learning Center offers online, self-paced Continuous Learning Modules (CLM)—more than 200 in total. These short modules (2-4 hours on average) can be searched to find knowledge needed to address a workplace need. Our workforce members can formally enroll in the module, complete all of the material, and upon successfully completed the assessment at the end of the module earn continuous learning points (CLP), which will help them meet their requirement to earn a total of 80 continuous learning points every two years to maintain their DAWIA certification. In addition to CLMs, the DAU continuous learning webpage provides workforce members access to information on numerous ways to earn CLPs.
