The University of Arizona is hosting a new, expense-paid Defense Department program to train students in military acquisition practices.
David Wichner The University of Arizona will prepare selected students for civilian careers with the U.S. Defense Department with training in military acquisition practices, as one of four schools hosting a new, expenses-paid Defense Department training program.
The UA was chosen along with Purdue University, Virginia Tech and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University to host pilot programs for the Defense Civilian Training Corps. The UA will soon reach out to students with more information about the program and the application process, a university spokesman said.
Work will take place in a two-unit course over two years, with roughly six hours of work a week, and planned activities and social events will be part of the program.
