Of particular concern are reductions in the budget for in-residence initial skills and follow-on training courses. Although advanced training technologies offer opportunities for reducing the time required for a given course while maintaining levels of proficiency, technology is not a solution in and of itself. This report presents results from a recent application of a career field education and training planning simulation capability to identify cost-effective opportunities for the introduction of advanced training technology to reduce time-to-train and overall training costs. The report also discusses the importance of life-cycle modeling of entire career fields and important cost and utility factors for deriving total training costs and relative return-on-investment timelines. Implications for large-scale implementation of advanced training technology for restructuring future training are highlighted and discussed.
