Training & Development Specialist (T&DS) - CADP Instructor

EEC Solutions is looking for 6 CADP Training and Development Specialists contract faculty in the DAF Civilian Associate Degree Program (CADP) at the Civilian Leadership Development School (CLDS), Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex. Note: We are seeking resumes for a proposal opportunity. This position is contingent upon contract award.
