USACAREERS

This computer-based career counseling system will help organizations and their employees with career development, employment transitioning, and reengineering challenges. Employees can access their interests and competencies through specific tests and then explore careers in the Federal, State, and local governments. The system helps employees identify what competencies are needed for what jobs, miniumum job qualifications, and career progression, as well as where the jobs are. Current job openings in all sectors of government and some private companies can be searched through OPM's electronic bulletin board. USACAREERS is available on a subscription basis both through the Internet and as a stand-alone PC-based system.

Once employees have identified their interests using USACAREERS, they can find training and development activities that are appropriate for competencies needed in specific jobs. The USACAREERS training database can be customized so that individual organizaitons are able to include their own job occupations and training opportunities.

Once the employee has identified interests and possible careers, the next step is a career-development plan. Employees using USACAREERS can pinpoint those courses and activities they need to strengthen their skills and build new competencies. The system enables employees to create resumes, request training, and/or keep track of their training records.
