First Soldiers graduate new talent acquisition technician training course

WASHINGTON — Army recruiting brigades and battalions will soon get new technical experts as the first group of warrant officers graduated today from the final phase of the talent acquisition technician training course. The class of 25 officers completed two weeks of fundamental data analytics training at the Adjutant General School on Fort Jackson, South Carolina followed by eight weeks of technical training at the Recruiting and Retention College at Fort Knox, Kentucky. “Through experimentation with new partnerships, and a thriving learning environment, these warrant officers are intended to be the linchpins in their future assignments,” said Col. Christine Rice, officer in charge of the Army’s workforce redesign initiative. “They will be strategic advisers to the commanders on the ground that are recruiting every single day for our nation.”
