It’s not just a job—together, we support the mission!

The Naval Acquisition Development Program (NADP) is a two to three year leadership and development program designed to support the mission of the Department of Defense (DoD) in the Acquisition Workforce (AWF) for the Department of the Navy (DON).  The NADP is managed by the Naval Acquisition Career Center (NACC) in a joint effort with naval commands to replenish and sustain the acquisition workforce in 25 different job series across the country, to include Hawaii and Guam.  Positions are full time civilian career opportunities that start at the entry level GS-7 or GS-9, depending upon education and job series requirements, with promotion potential to the GS-12 level upon graduation of the program.  If you’re interested in starting a career with the Department of the Navy and supporting our warfighter, consider the opportunities offered by NADP!
