DoD’s High Priority Performance Goal/Security
Cooperation Training Initiative (HPPG/SCTI)
In 2009 the DEPSECDEF directed that a concentrated effort to train the Security Cooperation (SC) Workforce be included among the ten High Priority Performance Goals reported to the Office of Management & Budget. Through hard work and dedication by constituent organizations to identify training requirements and by DISAM staff to deliver training, the ultimate goal to train 95% of the workforce at appropriate levels as designated by their supervisory chain by EOY FY 2011 was met. However, new organizations are continually added to the workforce making the maintenance of the 95% level a priority. The following table provides specific training levels and their corresponding training that constituent organizations can reference when establishing the appropriate training level for their positions in the Security Cooperation Workforce Database (SCWD):
