The purpose of the Defense Civilian Training Corps (DCTC) program is to target critical skills gaps necessary to achieve the objectives of the national defense strategies by preparing students selected for Department of Defense (DoD) careers relating to the acquisition, digital technologies, critical technologies, science, engineering, finance, and other civilian occupations determined by the Secretary of Defense. It is an “ROTC-like” program to recruit and prepare students for DoD civilian careers.

This project must keep pace with leadership priorities, manage initiative milestones (including Congressional Reports and Under Secretary of Defense (USD)-level briefings), and ensure proper senior leader coordination and engagement (across the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (OSD(A&S)), OSD(Research and Engineering (R&E)), OSD(Personnel and Readiness (P&R)), the military departments, and others).

Work hours:

Here at Aeyon we believe in creating an environment that fosters a healthy work/ life balance. The typical day consists of a 9-5 Monday-Friday work schedule totaling 40 hours per week, but we do realize that life happens, and things come up. Many of our positions allow some flexibility in the work schedule for unforeseen events so that our employees can maintain a 40-hour work week and still have the opportunity to meet other obligations during the workday.

Security Clearance:

For most positions at Aeyon, a candidate must have or be able to obtain a company sponsored security clearance. A security clearance is like a background check. It is required for individuals who are hired for US government jobs or any organization that handles information pertaining to national security. The security clearance process ensures your ability to securely access, manage, and protect classified information. Although the security clearance process involves several stages, the key steps to obtaining and maintaining a security clearance are pre-investigation, investigation, adjudication, and reinvestigation.

Being a part of Aeyon means contributing to what matters most in your career and in your community while taking part in rewarding experiences and making a difference. At Aeyon we are committed to supporting initiatives like Wreaths across America, Operation Covert Santa, Children’s National Hospital and so many more!
