Our customers, the over 128,000 members of the DoD AT&L workforce are currently facing major challenges:
Projected loss of experience and knowledge
Need to adapt to evolutionary advances in information technologies
Necessity of streamlining infrastructure
Participating in the fundamental transformation of the Department of Defense
To help our customers meet these challenges, we at DAU had to transform acquisition training. We transformed:
Our organization
Our curriculum content and delivery methods
The concept of learning to extend beyond the course itself to include continuous learning, knowledge sharing, performance support, applied research, and strategic partnerships
Because of our successful efforts in transforming DAU, we were recognized as
The Best Overall Corporate University in 2002 at the Corporate University Best-In-Class awards
A Gold Medal winner of Brandon Hall best practices for e-learning
Winner of the American Society of Training & Development BEST Award
Winner of Corporate University Xchange Excellence Award
Member of Training Magazine’s Top 100
Our strategy is to provide you, the members of the AT&L community, premier career-long learning options to help you add value in your vital support to the warfighter.
