What happens to those personnel who are already certified in an area that is not one of the 6 core competencies? Will they be required to get certified in one of the 6 core competencies?

The Workforce Leadership team is still determining how to allocate the 7 remaining functional areas. These personnel may or may not remain in an Acquisition Workforce coded billet and therefore would not require certification. Under the new framework personnel that do not fall under the 6 Functional Areas may have potential to obtain credentials based on supervisor recommendations for specialty functions. More information will be communicated as the framework evolves.
