Foreign Talent Hires for DOD?
外来的和尚会念经?


In order to keep a high-quality technical workforce, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) should consider revising security rules that now exclude hiring foreign-born scientists and engineers—and think about starting “unconventional” research projects that might attract the best and the brightest, according to a new study on the Pentagon’s future workforce needs.

根据一份最新的关于五角大楼未来劳动力需求的报告,美国国防部为了保持一只强有力的高科技生力军,应该考虑修改安全法案中不允许非美国本土出生科学家和工程师任职的内容,以及开展“非常规”研究项目来吸引那些最优秀的和最聪明的科学家。


The good news is that DOD is not facing an immediate crisis in finding technical employees to replace an aging workforce, says C. Daniel Mote Jr., the former University of Maryland, College Park, president who co-chaired the study for the U.S. National Academies’ National Research Council and the National Academy of Engineering. “But it’s clear that DOD needs to be more assertive and prepared to compete” with industry, academia, and other nations for the best workers, he says.

C. Daniel Mote Jr.是前任马里兰大学校长,同时也是美国科学院科学咨询委员会和美国工程院主席。他表示目前有利因素是国防部不会面临找不到新工程师来替换老龄化员工的窘境,“但是很明显国防部需要更大的魄力来与工业界,学术界和其它国家来争取最优秀的员工。”


Jumpstarting exciting, innovative projects may be one way to attract recruits. Another is for DOD to “reexamine” the need for the strictest security clearances for some positions. But implementing such changes could be difficult, because it would require rewriting a host of laws and policies.

快速启动激动人心的创新型项目可能会是一个招兵买马的办法,而对国防部来说也可以“重新评估”对某些岗位最严格的安全背景审查。然而真要这么做可能会比较困难,因为需要重新制定大量的法律和政策。
