What type of training is required for newly assigned Services personnel?

Newly assigned Services personnel are required to complete initial skills training at the Technical School. This training is crucial as it provides the foundational knowledge and skills necessary for their specific duties within the Air Force Services. During this phase, trainees learn the essential responsibilities and operational procedures specific to their career field.

Initial skills training ensures that all personnel meet the same standardized criteria and are adequately prepared for their assignments. It covers various aspects of the Services career field, equipping newly assigned members with the technical skills and understanding needed to perform effectively in their roles. This stage is a critical step before they proceed to more specialized training or on-the-job experiences, allowing them to serve with competence and confidence.

While other training forms like on-the-job training, advanced leadership training, and self-paced courses may play important roles in professional development, they typically come after this foundational initial skills training.
