MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT: Elective Requirements to Obtain Certification in FY 04

This memorandum is to provide clarification regarding the elective requirements for three Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT & L) workforce career fields, specifically, Contracting, Industrial and/or Contract Property Management, and Purchasing. These new requirements were identified in a memorandum dated August 1, 2003, Subject: "Position Category Descriptions and Experience, Education and Training Requirements for Fiscal Year 2004," Release #04-01. However, since publication, it has become increasingly evident that supervisors are requesting more information pertaining per·tain

2.
 to how electives are defined. Accordingly, it is imperative that addressees give this memorandum the widest possible dissemination dissemination Medtalk The spread of a pernicious process–eg, CA, acute infection Oncology Metastasis, see there  within your component.

The Contracting, Industrial and/or Contract Property Management, and Purchasing career fields have an elective requirement for all three levels of certification. An explanation of an elective is as follows:
    "As agreed to by the supervisor, the elective may be any training
    opportunity related to the employee's job, or necessary for career
    development, or for cross training. The elective may include no-cost
    distance learning or other training opportunity; assignment-
    specific courses funded by DAU/DACM; other training opportunity
    funded by the student's organization."


To simplify, the elective can be any training opportunity that meets the approval of the employee's supervisor. Neither the subject matter nor the length of the training opportunity are delineated de·lin·e·ate

3.
 in the description of the elective training event; this was an intentional notion designed to allow greater managerial flexibility Managerial flexibility

Flexibility in the timing and scale of investment provided by a real investment option.
 and provide a wider range of possible (supervisory approved) elective training events for the employee.

As these elective events may be DAU DAU - /dow/ [German Fidonet] D"ummster Anzunehmender User. A German acronym for stupidest imaginable user. From the engineering-slang GAU for Gr"osster Anzunehmender Unfall (worst foreseeable accident), especially of a LNG tank farm plant or something with similarly disastrous  courses, functionality protocols have been incorporated into the Acquisition Training Application System (ACQTAS), the registration system for civilian AT & L workforce members assigned to the DoD Agencies outside the Military Departments. DAU training events that are determined to be electives will be identified using the ACQTAS registration protocols. During the ACQTAS registration process, employees will have the opportunity to identify the course as a DAU course that is being taken as an elective training event, and supervisors and quota managers will be required to validate the event as an elective training event. We also plan to incorporate elective tracking for non-DAU training events in the ACQTAS for Continuous Learning (ACQTAS for CL) module that is currently being developed.
