ABSTRACT

The article presents information on the program that will align civilian and military career fields to develop future leaders. Under the new program, all civilian positions have been assigned to a specific career fields similar to military specialties. Each career field will have a career path that helps employees determine where to go or what to do to advance in their careers. The new program will enhance current opportunities for civilian professional education, advanced academic degrees, broader assignment experiences and upward mobility. It will also identify crossfunctional paths to expose civilians to a broader scope of operational activities to prepare them for senior-leadership positions.
