(E) development and training of the work-
force, including— 
(i) leveraging industry best practices

nents and products for systems of the De-
partment of Defense and to enable capa-
bilities of the Department; 
(ii) identifying or developing opportu-
nities for public-private talent exchanges 
and skills development in areas such as ad-
vanced manufacturing, supply chain man-
agement, and supply chain risk manage-
ment; and
1518 
(iii) identify or develop curriculum 
and experiential learning to support and 
enable advanced manufacturing, produc-
tion technologies, or industrial innovation.
