nowing the capabilities of your workforce is key in managing employee talent—it allows you to see their strengths, as well as areas for improvement, and provides a frame- work to see what training will be needed in the future. But how do you find out what capabilities your workforce possesses? Trough a competency assessment, of course!
Te Army Director for Acquisition Career Management (DACM) Office conducted a two-part workforce competency assessment between 2017 and 2019. Te 2017 fiscal year (FY) Acquisition Workforce Career Development Assessment—Part 1—surveyed the entire Army Acquisition Work- force to determine which training would increase its leadership and technical competencies. Te results of Part 1 of the assessment told the DACM Office how important skill was to the employee’s position, the amount of time an employee spent developing a skill, and the employee’s understand- ing of that skill—for each of the acquisition career fields. Te DACM Office then compared that information for each career field to the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s Acquisition Work- force Qualification Initiative, a tool that’s used to identify specific gaps in job experience, allow for identification of on-the-job developmental opportunities and capture demonstrated acquisi- tion experience.
Part 2, the fiscal year 2019 Army Acquisition Workforce Competency Assessment – Supervi- sor Feedback, captured data on workforce competencies as assessed by acquisition employees’ supervisors. Te fiscal year 2019 assessment marked the first time that common AAW technical competencies had been identified and rated.
