Report On The Establishment Of A Governmentwide Information Technology Training Program

 

Relationships between the CIO University; the STAR Program; the IRM College; the Graduate School, USDA; the FEI & MDCs; and GoLearn and the IT Workforce Development Roadmap

The CIO University and STAR Program address IT policy and managerial competencies drawn from the Clinger-Cohen core competencies. CIO University is a graduate level executive program addressing a broad spectrum of leadership competencies, which requires months of study and typically results in college credit. In contrast, STAR is an intensive infusion program focused on key leadership areas, based on a six day resident model. These programs provide unique Government perspectives and knowledge not commonly available via the private sector.

The IRM College programs center on the Clinger-Cohen core competencies required for DoD and Federal IRM leadership. The graduate level programs address unique government responsibilities related to the Act and serve as a building block for partnership agreements with other universities, many of which are participating in the CIO University consortium. These agreements allow IRM College graduates to transfer up to 15 hours credit toward selected master's degrees and doctorates. The IRM College works closely with partnering universities to ensure its curriculum is complementary to the degree programs versus repetitive.

The Graduate School, USDA, provides training in all Clinger-Cohen core competency areas, including technical competencies. The Graduate School works closely with the Federal CIO Council to ensure they are meeting the needs of the Federal IT community in addressing these competencies.

The FEI and MDCs, while designed specifically to develop career leaders, offer numerous courses that address different aspects of the Clinger-Cohen core competencies.

The IT Workforce Development Roadmap was designed by the Federal CIO Council to be the cornerstone of a Federal IT career development program through its capability as a centralized tool for IT workforce assessment and development. It is offered Governmentwide on the GoLearn.gov website.

All of these programs are tied to the Clinger-Cohen core competencies for the Federal IT workforce, as defined and updated by the Federal CIO Council. However, these programs have not been integrated into a single Governmentwide IT training framework.
