COACH/MENTOR


As an Army Acquisition Workforce profes- sional, this is the journey you are now empowered to take for your career. You and your direct supervisor are now in the driver’s seat. Discussions about career path need to be on-going and documented in the individual development plan. Supervi- sors serve as mentors, and provide training recommendations that are relevant, timely and meaningful for the employee, the team and the organization. It’s a great position to be in to be able to chart your own path. Our supervisors can grow their employees and encourage them to prepare and move into better, more challenging positions. (See Figure 3.)


Professionalizing the Army Acquisition Workforce is my top priority. We’re doing all we can to prepare our professionals to take on some of the most challenging acquisition assignments. Quality training and depth of experience—learning your craft and doing the job is what will enable our success.


CHECK IT OFF


I understand moving into Back-to-Basics is a big shift. To set yourself up for success, I recommend you take the following actions:


• Check your Acquisition Career Record Brief in CAPPMIS to ensure all information is correct.


• Update your resume in USA Jobs to reflect the new certification structure.


• Review and understand certification requirements, which can be found on our Back-to-Basics website at https://asc.army.mil/web/dacm- office/back-to-basics/.


• Review your updated career path.


• Continuously engage with your supervisor to discuss educational and developmental opportunities.


• Update your individual development plan (IDP) regularly.


Your first-line supervisor should be your first point of contact for all issues related to Back-to-Basics, but my team is here for you too. Our acquisition career managers are standing by to fix any issues or clarify guidance.
