Abstract:
The Air Force operates on of the worlds largest job training systems, providing technical training in more than 200 enlisted specialties. In current practice, the training planning and management process is divided among several agencies. The training system includes formal resident courses conducted by the Air Training Command AtC at six Technical Training Centers TTCs and on-the-job training is provided in a variety of other settings, including ATC field Training Detachments FTDs, Career Development Courses, Major Command programs, mobile training teams, contractor training, and inter-Service programs and courses. A basic problem in developing overall training plans for first-term and career airmen or across Air Force career ladders is deciding what tasks to train in TTCs, FTDs, or OJT and what the proficiency levels achieved by that training should be. The Training Decisions System research and development effort evolved from a recognition by HQ ATC and HQ USAFDPPT that a independent decisions were being made by different agencies within the Manpower, Personnel, and Training MPT communities b there was no way to proactively estimate what the impact of various training options would be and c there were no comprehensive, readily accessible cost data regarding OJT. MPT decisions--although they are the best possible given the available information could benefit significantly from an accurate data base and modeling capability oriented toward the macro-level decision maker.
