NGA provides education and career development opportunities to its employees to ensure the workforce is prepared to meet current and future mission requirements. Candidates for some positions, primarily analytical positions, will be required to successfully complete an analytical training program in order to continue employment and must sign a Training Service Agreement. The training required depends on the requirements of each position, along with the skills, education, and experience of the individual. Be advised that this training may be held at a number of local NGA sites on day and evening shifts. Transportation to and from training is the responsibility of the employee. New hires in non-analytical positions and their hiring managers will determine what, if any, internal/external training and experiences are needed to enable the person to quickly become a productive member of the NGA team.
