The entirety of the JQR is maintained by N8 at a classified level.b. The intern will train towards completing a portion of the WARCOM N8 Job Qualification Requirements (JQR). Throughout the SkillBridge period the intern will be mentored toward, and expected to complete a reasonable but challenging portion of this qualification but will not be expected to fully complete the JQR.Note: The successful completion of the entire JQR will take anywhere from 9-12 months depending on availability of DAU courses and intern’s pace of OJT task completion. In anticipation of post-SkillBridge employment in the Acquisition Programs field with WARCOM N887, the completion of a portion of the JQR and familiarization with the remainder of the incomplete qualification will accelerate the new hire onboarding and qualification process.c. During onboarding, the intern and mentor will agree upon and establish a completion goal for the SkillBridge period balanced with scheduled events and expected time away from the training location for professional development and personal matters. d. Performance feedback to the intern during the SkillBridge period will be based on accomplishment towards the agreed upon completion goal and associated points-based system (e.g. 1 pt per course completed of the total courses agreed upon), and demonstration of the below additional training requirements. e. The JQR covers many aspects of the N8 policies, practices, and procedures applicable to the RO and analyst/SME. A thorough understanding of the JQR fundamentals is necessary for successful conduct of work in the Requirements, Resourcing, and Acquisitions field within NSW, SOCOM, and the DOD. As such, completion of the extensive N8 JQR is required of all acquisition workforce employees (Requirements Officers and Programs Analysts/SMEs alike) to be considered qualified in the field. f. The JQR includes a series of:i. Defense Acquisition University (DAU) online courses (WARCOM sponsored) and ii. In-person (non-classroom or instructor led) On-the- Job-Training (OJT) tasks. g. The intern will train to a demonstrable working knowledge in the generation of, approval process for, and the quality review of NSW, AT&L, and SOCOM required documents, including CONOPS, Operational Mode Summaries, Mission Profiles, J8 and AT&L Operational Test related documentation, and in the purpose and use-case of various N8 and acquisition programs related memos.h.The intern will be required to remain relevant in their area of technical expertise, as well as in the specific technology areas supported in the WARCOM N887 portfolio of programs.

Opportunities to attend New Equipment Training (NET) sessions will be offered to the intern but will be situationally dependent and only offered when unfilled seats are available on a not-to-interfere with operational needs basis.i. To assist in completing various tasks from the JQR, and to become familiar with the duties and responsibilities associated with N8 RO’s and Analyst/SMEs, the intern will attend events and meetings with the RO to the maximum extent possible.2.
