The Sergeants School Seminar Program (SSSP) curriculum is derived from and parallel to the resident Sergeants Course curriculum and the goals are identical—to prepare Marine sergeants to:
- Serve as ethical leaders, educated in the philosophies of Marine Corps leadership and the doctrinal publications which establish the basis for organizational values and ethics, who recognize how personal actions influence processes and stimulate change in the behavior and attitudes of subordinates.
- Serve as professional warfighters, educated in the nature and theory of war, who comprehend the warfighting functions and their impact on operations, and who can articulate the roles and functions of other services as they are organized within the Combatant Command structure.
- Serve as sound decision makers, educated in diverse decision making processes that promote and support organizational values and leadership philosophies within the profession of arms, who possess the communication skills necessary to guide subordinates in personal and professional development.
