Tinker AFB, Oklahoma City Air Logistic
Center (OC-ALC), expects a large number of civilian job
vacancies in management and administration in the coming
five years. A large percentage of these vacancies is in the
field of Operations Management and Analysis. UCO and the
Department of Information Systems and Operations Management
(ISOM) worked with Tinker OC-ALC to design a "Plan of Study"
to help future UCO graduates in Operations Management meet
the requirements and standards of Tinker OC-ALC. This Plan
of Study, which results in a Business Degree in Operations
Management and Analysis from UCO, is titled "Program
Management".
More than seventy of our graduates have
already been placed as full-time operations management
employees at Tinker OC-ALC in the past five years. All of
them graduated by following this Plan of Study.
A student interested in employment with
Tinker will have to declare a major in Operations Management
and Analysis (OMA - Code 2101) and enroll in the Program
Management Plan of Study. Tinker will periodically interview
students enrolled in this plan and offer those who meet
their requirements paid internships while completing their
course work at UCO. Upon graduation, students who
have successfully completed their internship will typically
be offered full time employment with fast track
non-competitive promotions to grade GS-11. Tinker decides on
who to interview and who to offer internships and employment
to, and therefore these internships are not guaranteed to
every student enrolled in this program.
Students who follow this Program
Management Plan of Study will graduate with a Bachelor of
Business degree in Operations Management and Analysis. If
they were not offered internships while they were in
college, graduates from this program can apply for the many
other job vacancies that exist with local, national or
international employers, including Tinker subcontractors.
This is an excellent opportunity for
students who want to combine business academic knowledge
with practical paid-internship experience and exciting
professional career that provides the benefits of federal
employment. Applications for enrollment are taken anytime
during the semester.
