The Defense Acquisition Academy is now enrolling individuals in its Contracting and Acquisition Logistics training program. This program was developed as a workforce initiative to offer qualified displaced or unemployed workers with training to help them secure employment in the acquisition field. In addition, newly trained individuals will help to assist the region by meeting the critical workforce needs of the state’s largest employer, the Department of Defense organizations based at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.

Sinclair Community College’s course offerings reflect the training requirements for Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act Level I certifications in contracting and acquisition logistics. Certified personnel are highly sought after in defense and non-defense agencies and this training program works to increase a candidate’s employment viability for positions in both areas.

The Defense Acquisition Academy is the result of a new partnership with Sinclair Community College’s Workforce Development and Corporate Services Division, the Montgomery County Department of Job and Family Services, and the Defense Acquisition University.
