Official government training or field experience documentation must be presented, reviewed, approved, and kept on file by HPE. This option strongly supports: a.) Individuals applying for graduate schools to meet experience requirements, and b.) Individuals with current service or training obligations, i.e. reserves, to meet minimum stated requirements for direct entry into government career or veteran reentry programs.
