the most highly qualified and trained staff. To demonstrate this
commitment, all MIL employees have access to MILTON (MIL
Training Online). Offered at no cost, MILTON consists of over

topics, including certification preparation. The dual objective of
having this type of program is to: 1) meet project requirements,
while 2) promoting professional development for our current
employees. The net result is a more capable professional staff
whose skills and capabilities keep pace with today’s business and
technical standards. Visit the MILTON page on MILtranet to
