SUBJ: SOLICITATION FOR FY23 MIDGRADE OFFICER AND CIVILIAN
TRANSITION COURSE (MOCTC) AND SENIOR LEADER TRANSITION COURSE (SLTC)
1. This ALCOAST provides course information and session dates for
the Midgrade Officer and Civilian Transition Course
(100139, O-3/GS-12) and Senior Leader Transition Course
(100437, O-4/GS-13) Courses for FY23. These members are strongly
encouraged to attend their respective course at their earliest
convenience.
2. The Midgrade Officer and Civilian Transition Course is
designed for all O-3 and GS-12 CG personnel. As officers and
civilian personnel transition to roles of greater responsibility and
broader impact, their leadership abilities and approaches
must evolve to handle more complex leadership challenges.
The MOCTC learning outcomes enhance self-awareness, critical
thinking, and interpersonal mastery. MOCTC provides graduates with
developmental experiences to prepare them for service as Coast Guard
leaders who:
    a. Evaluate self-awareness to discover intrinsic motivations
and formulate a plan for self-improvement;
    b. Analyze and improve the level of critical thinking to be
prepared for future adaptive challenges; and,
    c. Develop the capacity to engage in higher levels of productive
relationships.
3. MOCTC commitment: MOCTC is delivered in a blended format over
a period of six weeks including five weeks online pre-residency
work followed by a one week, in-person resident session. The online
coursework requires a 2-3 hour commitment per week and includes
reading, participation in online discussion boards, and various
other assignments. Completion of the online coursework is a
requirement to attend the residency period.
4. MOCTC convenings: Three convenings will be offered in FY23.
MOCTC 01-23 is full. Remaining resident sessions will convene on:
    a. MOCTC 02-23: 12/12/2022 - 12/16/2022 in Washington, DC.
    b. MOCTC 03-23: 06/05/2023 - 06/09/2023 at Camp Nett,
Niantic, CT.
5. The Senior Leader Transition Course (SLTC) is designed for all
O-4 and supervisory GS-13 CG personnel. As officers and civilian
personnel advance in our organization, they must activate their
transition from operational leaders focused on tactical competency
to leaders who can effectively engage on the strategic and
organizational level required as a future senior leader. O-4s and
GS-13s must expand their ability to become intellectually agile and
engage in finely tuned diagnostic skills to maneuver in the dynamic
conditions of highly complex, strategic environments. The SLTC
learning outcomes are "decision making", "strategic and systems
thinking", and "teaming, shared leadership and change management".
SLTC provides graduates with developmental experiences to prepare
them for service as Coast Guard leaders who:
    a. Assess, develop, and articulate reasoned judgments on
tactical and strategic issues;
    b. Develop and interpret the role of strategic and systems
thinking throughout your world of work; and,
    c. Generate the processes and capabilities to lead the
collaboration with teams and external stakeholders to execute
innovation and positive change.
6. SLTC commitment: SLTC is delivered in a blended format over
a period of six weeks including four weeks online pre-residency
work followed by a two week, in-person resident session.
The online coursework requires a 2-3 hour commitment per week and
includes reading, participation in online discussion boards, and
various other assignments. Completion of the online coursework is
a requirement to attend the residency period.
7. SLTC convenings: Seventeen convenings will be offered in FY23.
