Recommendations

Study needs for Physical/Dimensional training for ETsStudy ET Calibrator Career Path (a.k.a. TFE Professional Development Vector) Should some/all ETs attend B&D? Should occasional ET attend Advanced Cal/Precision

Phys-D?

Recommendations

Convene Precision Phys-D “Stakeholder’s Workshop” similar to SWTRR reviewing utilizationStakeholders work with CNET to establish clear ownership of non-standards gear Phased ReplacementEncourage emerging Executive Agent to address training specifically.
