But are you able to scale it?

What would your dream classroom look like?  What needs to be considered when designing a classroom?

A classroom needs to be as unique as its students.

The United States Army is no exception.

Soldiers in the United States Army have plenty of unique skills that they need to learn while they’re training for their work.

In a press release, Vangent, Inc. has announced that it was awarded a $95 million subcontract from Pragmatics, Inc. to support the United States Army Classroom XXI Enterprise Classroom Program.

Vangent will lead the design, installation and integration of a sophisticated learning technology infrastructure that supports standardization, interoperability, scalability, and sustainability of more that 1,400 classrooms across U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Schools and Centers.

“We are proud to serve the United States Army to deliver the latest training and education technology. This work will help advance the mission of the Army by equipping soldiers with the tools they need to achieve success, and will benefit active duty and reserve soldiers, as well as civilians and contractors serving as resident and non-resident students,” stated Mac Curtis, President and CEO of Vangent.

It is a rare company that is able to consider interoperability and scalability when designing a classroom.  Recruiters may wish to consider what companies are able to provide such specific services and see if there are hiring needs attached to special projects like this one. Government projects like this one have fueled tremendous growth, in particularly around the Washington DC area. If you are an agency recruiter and do not regularly interact with companies working on public-sector projects, you should consider approaching this market segment.
