Has the IA Workforce Improvement Program (IA WIP) been funded?
Yes. The DoD CIO has included funding in the PDM to support initial implementation requirements including certifications exams and personnel database updates. Funding via the PDM does not include training, Components should already have IA training in their budgets . These requirements cover the IA WIP implementation phase from FY07 to FY10. DoD Components are required to include IA WIP sustainment requirements in their budget plans. The Government cannot pay for contractor certification or certification preparation training. However, the Government can support contractor training for the actual system and procedures they are supporting.
