Acquisition Management Training and Education Are
Keys
to Career Advancement in the Federal Government
Congress has passed a number of laws to ensure that the Federal government's acquisition management capabilities are strong. These include the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act of 1990 (DAWIA), the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, and the Service Acquisition Reform Act of 2003 (SARA); OMB has followed up on the congressional initiatives by issuing OMB Policy Letter 05-01 in April 2005.
As acquisition reform in the Federal Government moves forward, it is clear that the desired skills of the Federal workforce need to go beyond contracting. Acquisition management today requires skills in program management, logistics, and budgeting in addition to contracting. With mastery of these skills, today's acquisition managers are positioned to deal with the twin challenges of complexity and scale that affect business and government enterprises alike.
The University of Management and Technology (UMT) offers training, certificates, and degree programs to strengthen the acquisition management capabilities of government workers and contractors. Check out UMT's acquisition management course offerings and jump on the acquisition management bandwagon.
