Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology will play a critical role in shaping tomorrow's military environment and preparing now to meet the uncertain challenges facing the nation's air and space forces. To achieve this end, the Air Force must employ the best and the brightest technically competent science and engineering workforce. These experts, military and civilian, are indispensable both for conducting relevant and mission essential in-house research and development as well as managing these and contracted technical activities. To acquire, motivate, and retain these experts, the Air Force must recognize both the differences and uniqueness of their individual needs and essential to adequately compensate them, whether direct or indirect. Dual-track career paths further enhance technological competency by addressing these concerns. In addition, sharing leadership between military officers/civilians is an essential consideration. To affect this, officers and civilians must be equally qualified, technically and managerially. Finally, through reengineered and proactive career management, the Air Force can place the right person, military or civilian, in the right job at the right time in the persons career, and thus achieving what is best both for the individual and for the Air Force.
Download or read book Examination of the U S Air Force s Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics STEM Workforce Needs in the Future and Its Strategy to Meet Those Needs written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-12-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force requires technical skills and expertise across the entire range of activities and processes associated with the development, fielding, and employment of air, space, and cyber operational capabilities. The growing complexity of both traditional and emerging missions is placing new demands on education, training, career development, system acquisition, platform sustainment, and development of operational systems. While in the past the Air Force's technologically intensive mission has been highly attractive to individuals educated in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, force reductions, ongoing military operations, and budget pressures are creating new challenges for attracting and managing personnel with the needed technical skills. Assessments of recent development and acquisition process failures have identified a loss of technical competence within the Air Force (that is, in house or organic competence, as opposed to contractor support) as an underlying problem. These challenges come at a time of increased competition for technical graduates who are U.S. citizens, an aging industry and government workforce, and consolidations of the industrial base that supports military systems. In response to a request from the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Science, Technology, and Engineering, the National Research Council conducted five fact-finding meetings at which senior Air Force commanders in the science and engineering, acquisition, test, operations, and logistics domains provided assessments of the adequacy of the current workforce in terms of quality and quantity.

This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USAir Force human capital management (HCM) system is not easily defined or mapped. It affects virtually every part of the Air Force because workforce policies, procedures, and processes impact all offices and organizations that include Airmen and responsibilities and relationships change regularly. To ensure the readiness of Airmen to fulfill the mission of the Air Force, strategic approaches are developed and issued through guidance and actions of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management assesses and strengthens the various U.S. Air Force initiatives and programs working to improve person-job match and human capital management in coordinated support of optimal mission capability. This report considers the opportunities and challenges associated with related interests and needs across the USAF HCM system as a whole, and makes recommendations to inform improvements to USAF personnel selection and classification and other critical system components across career trajectories. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management offers the Air Force a strategic approach, across a connected HCM system, to develop 21st century human capital capabilities essential for the success of 21st century Airmen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using data collection procedures developed for airman career fields, the 6 specialties in the R and D Management Utilization Field were surveyed. A job inventory composed of 373 task statements and a Background Information Sheet was developed and mailed to all Air Force R and D Management officers. Analysis of 825 completed inventories by an iterative grouping technique allocated 675 of the officers' jobs to 27 job types, each including at least 5 jobs. The dominant job type (R and D Manager) included nearly half of the R and D management officers. Most of the job types cut across grade levels and organization levels. Reported minimum academic requirements were a bachelor's degree with major in science or engineering. Some officers considered graduate training in management or administration desirable and some suggested additional experience in operational commands. The incumbent officers averaged more experience and education than they judged to be minimal. An appendix gives the computer printouts of job descriptions for two of the identified job types: R and D Project Staff Officer, Foreign Technology Staff Officer.
