(Sevatec) announced today that the firm was selected by the United States Air Force to support its technology-based training initiatives and transformation efforts at the Randolph Air Force Base Air Education and Training Command (AETC)—the Air Force Smart Ops for the 21st Century (AFSO21).

AFSO21 will help the Air Force convert approximately 3300 hours of instructor-led training (or more than 28 knowledge-based refresher or supplemental training courses) to distance learning, computer-based training (CBT) over the next 18 months.

"As our first opportunity to serve the United States Air Force, this contract award marks an important milestone in Sevatec's demonstrated maturity as a company and as a trusted service provider to the Federal Government," said Sonny Kakar, Sevatec President and CEO.

We are thrilled with this award and honored to receive the AF's confidence in delivering on this important initiative."

"Sevatec is the right partner for AETC because we fully understand their future state and we will build that functionality into our overall design."
