Career Development and Mission Critical Programs

Career development programs link training activities, research and team projects, coaching and mentoring, and developmental work assignments in a set of activities designed to build universal, leadership, business management, and mission critical competencies.

Mission critical programs focus on training and education activities, but also can include experience requirements, a coach or training team leader assignment, or examinations requiring extensive preparation and self-study. Mission critical and career development programs are not mutually exclusive. A new employee can follow the Technical Qualification Program guidelines to develop mission critical competencies while at the same time participating in a career development program.

These programs are a major commitment to an employee's career development. Mission critical development programs often also have a board of senior managers that makes decisions concerning program structure and assesses the results. In addition, many of the career development programs require a Continued Service Agreement, where a participant agrees to work for the Department for a specified period after completing the training program.
