In close partnership with FAA LOB training organizations, the FAA's Leadership Development division oversees the agency's Learning Enterprise Architecture (LEA), which includes the FAA's mission critical training systems, tools, and services. The FAA's training system of record, the electronic Learning Management System (eLMS), is at the heart of the LEA as the agency's primary training delivery and reporting platform. Supporting the eLMS infrastructure is a vast endeavor, and an essential component in meeting the agency's need to sustain a skilled, informed workforce. The eLMS Program delivers web-based training exclusive to FAA, critical briefings on security standards, legislation, and policy, mandatory compliance training, interconnectivity between integrated systems, and individual development and performance functionality. In alignment with the FAA's Destination 2025, which outlines the agency's strategic priorities, Leadership Development's goal is to lead and support cultivating FAA's workforce of the future, providing learning and performance tools that skills to ensure the U.S. has the world's safest and most productive aviation sector. With the complexity of the FAA's training infrastructure, eLMS alone cannot achieve the tenets of the FAA's strategic priorities, as well as supplanting all training systems across the FAA. The goal of the FAA Learning Enterprise Architecture (LEA) is to design and augment an infrastructure that both serves the full needs of the FAA training community while also meeting the demands of system consolidation. In addition, the efforts of the LEA also represent the intersection between the FAA training community and the FAA CIO efforts. The end goal of the FAA LEA is to provide all stakeholders the most appropriate infrastructure for managing training and development opportunities across the FAA. This infrastructure provides employees with the most up-to-date training and development information, provides training managers the most appropriate tools for managing employee development, and provides FAA leadership with one source for all corporate training assets. The LEA serves as the critical link between how the FAA manages its employee development and how the FAA achieves the tenets of FAA's Destination 2025. FAA requires the continuation of current FAA enterprise learning technology project progress and analysis efforts, including continuing operational support for eLMS, critical system integration solutions, Blackboard, and the services and tools offered by FAA's Leadership Development division. Additionally, the FAA's Destination 2025 will continue to require the use and advancement of learning technologies within the LEA. The tasks associated with this statement of objectives play a critical role in maintaining the viability of the systems and infrastructure of the LEA.
