Describing the World of Work in the Intelligence
Community (IC)

• Program History
• Development Challenges
• Solutions and the Road Ahead

3
Program History

• The Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), the
  leader of the IC and the head of CIA, made
  building a diverse and skilled workforce a
  strategic priority.

4
Program History

• Expanding electronic government (E-Gov) is a
  key thrust in President Bushs management
  agenda.
• The start of this E-Gov expansion was
  www.firstgov.govthe portal to the federal
  government.

5
Program History

• Why an Internet web site? It.
• Serves as a public portal to the ICa powerful,
  interesting, and convincing presenceit complies
  with the E-Gov directive
• Advertises the IC as an exciting place to work
• Advances the IC further into the realm of
  E-recruiting

6
Program History

• Why an Internet web site? It.
• Attracts highly qualified entry level and
  experienced professionals
• Promotes an accurate awareness of the IC and the
  intelligence business
• Advances an understanding of the diversity of
  careers and occupations

7
The Challenge

• Fourteen diverse government agencies all with
  different cultures and mission focus.each
  playing a part in the intelligence process
• Absence of a historical precedent for an IC
  wide approach to recruitment
• An inbred reluctance to going public or using
  unclassified capabilities
• Lack of a common metric for describing work in
  the IC (I.e., different skills management
  programs)

8
The Challenge

• Absence of IC careersinstead there are CIA
  careers, DIA careers, NSA careers, etc.
• Each agency already had a web site and ran their
  own recruitment programs
• Everything had to be unclassified.

9
Solutions

• AIR had previously performed job/occupational
  analyses at three large intelligence agencies
• The skills management systems were
• Based on the ONET data structure
• Included Skills, Knowledge, and Tools (SKTs)
• AIRs previous work in the IC laid the groundwork
  for a common IC descriptor set

10
Solutions

• AIR identified careers that were known to exist
  in other agencies (e.g., HR, Analysis)
• AIR surveyed other agencies to confirm and
  expansion the careers and occupations in the
  baseline

11
Next Steps

• AIR is enhancing the look feel and content of the
  web site by adding features such as
• Vocational Preparation guidance
• Enhanced descriptions of core mission jobs
• Hot Job identification
• Career Interest Map
• Downloadable information

What We Do
INTELLIGENCE
Knowledge and foreknowledge of the world around
us that allows civilian leaders and military
commanders to consider alternative options and
