These objectives will increase the spiritual readiness of service members and their families.

Training materials must include student and presenter materials/presentations, presenter lesson plans, case studies, and small group discussions and assignments as well as a detailed daily schedule of training events to include facilitated small group task activities/tabletop/scenario-based case study discussions. All materials shall meet IACET educational and legal standards.

The responsibilities of the Instructor are as follows:

  • Communicate with co-developers, Contractor staff, and Navy personnel in a timely manner. 
  • Deliver approved training materials in person at multiple CONUS and OCONUS sites between January and June 2026.

  • Strong understanding of current data analytics trends, with an ability to connect technical concepts to mission-oriented organizations.
  • Engaging and effective communication and pedagogical skills that inspire students while learning data analytics.
