19 January 2003: Report lauds acquisition workforce training efforts, Government Executive

“GAO praised NASA and the VA for developing new information management systems so they can track current acquisition employees’ skills sets and identify gaps they need to fill in the future. This is important because many agencies lack good data on their procurement workforces, such as information on workers’ knowledge and skills sets, attrition rates and retirement rates, the report said.”
