The Air Force Culture and Language Center deliberately develops culturally competent Airmen and Guardians with working-level through professional foreign language proficiency to meet global requirements through the Language Enabled Airman Program, or LEAP. Understanding the languages and cultures of allies and partners strengthens US international relationships. AFCLC has built and supports the Training Partnership Request process, or TPR, that allows organizations to connect DoD and governmental requirements to LEAP scholars for exercises, mobile training team events, conferences, virtual events, and document translation projects as their funding permits.
This process has been codified through DAFI 36-4005. Partnering with AFCLC is simple. Follow the Training Partnership Request link below and fill out the TPR form in AFCLC’s Language Enabled Development Resource, or LEaDeR, obtaining access with your CAC card. When contacted by a potential sponsoring organization, AFCLC searches for LEAP scholars who match the requested language, rank and career field. AFCLC aligns qualified scholars with the TPR, and ensures they are prepared for the event. Since 2017, LEAP scholars have supported over 500 TPRs in more than 50 different languages.
