DETROIT ARSENAL, Mich. -- As the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command is committed to shaping a multi-skilled workforce, the TACOM Integrated Logistics Support Center held its second Career Enhancement Day for ILSC employees on Sept. 13 and 14.
Career Enhancement Day consisted of training sessions designed to enhance employees' general knowledge about the organization and to improve their technical skills. Multiple college partners also had displays to discuss educational opportunities.
TACOM ILSC Executive Director Marion Whicker gave a keynote address to her employees and then held a session titled "Tips for Career Enhancement."
"When developing a list of career options, you need to know your interests, your skills and your boundaries," stated Whicker. "Research about what you can learn more about your job, about your organization and the changes in the Army. Research about where the Army is heading, as where the Army heads will affect every one of you."
In addition to the career enhancement tips, ILSC's other Career Enhancement Day one-hour training sessions included topics on resume writing, hiring process, leadership development, training assignments, the life of a supervisor, military structure, conflict management, time management, cross generational collaboration, and public speaking.
College partners who came out for ILSC's Career Enhancement Day included Baker College,
Central Michigan University, Indiana Tech, Lawrence Technological University, University of Michigan-Flint, and Walsh College.
"ILSC Career Enhancement Day 2018 focused on establishing strong career routes and branches," stated Suzanne Rieder, who was part of the ILSC team setting up the event.
