As the Defense Department gears up to hire thousands of new workers including 20,000 contracting specialists, Congress is considering a program to help the Pentagon recruit and train thousands of future civilian leaders.

The Department of Defense Civilian Leadership Program will select candidates from inside the department, as well as the private sector, for special training and assignments that should help the government develop a "new generation" of civilian talent.

We talked to Dave Rude the Chief of Leader and Professional Development at the DoD's Civilian Personnel Management Services, he told us the programs are, first and foremost, a vehicle for growing civilian leadership; now, a top transformational priority for the department.
