Job Order Contracting Best Practices: A Quality JOC Education

For any team implementing a Job Order Contracting (JOC) program, a JOC education is key to program success. The main goal of this training, the goal of a JOC education, is to make sure everyone knows each step in the process and understands their individual roles. Specifically, all parties involved in the process should be trained regarding documented program procedures and the use of program management software.

Delivering a quality JOC education for internal stakeholders is necessary for running a best-in-class program. But it’s not the only requirement. Visit our Job Order Contracting Best Practices page to find practical advice for building relationships with your contractor community, project selection and much more.

Continuing Your Team’s JOC Education
