As members of the Army’s Career Program 12, industrial hygienists (IHs) and technicians (GS-9 and above) can apply for funding for various training.
Careerists are required to submit an Individual Development Plan (IDP) via the
CP-12 Website
.
The IDP is a personal action plan, jointly agreed to by the individual and their supervisor that identifies short- and long-term career goals.
For suggestions, the IH should consult the Army Civilian Training, Education and Development System (ACTEDS).
ACTEDS is a Department of the Army (DA) program.
Its main purpose is to provide DA civilian personnel with a roadmap for career development throughout their total career.
ACTEDS is a systematic, competency-based approach to identify the right kind of training at the right point in Army civilian careers.
The ACTEDS Plan identifies a logical, visible framework for developing competencies required of personnel in the Safety and Occupational Health (SOH) Career Program (CP-12).
It blends formal training, on-the-job training, developmental assignments, and self-development activities.
Requirements are tailored to personnel in the SOH (CP-12) and also include prescribed civilian leader development.
Select courses are centrally funded by CP-12 annually.
Although every effort is made to accommodate the careerists’ professional goals, applying for training does not guarantee funding.
Careerists can request funding for training through their local organization.
