The Navy is drafting a work force strategic plan to help recruit, retain
and develop employees, including information management and information
technology workers.
The strategic plan, which the Navy hopes to compete by the end of the year,
will help the service assess its current work force and formulate a plan
for how it will meet future requirements, said Karen Danis, program leader
for information management/information technology (IM/IT) competency management
in the Navy's Office of the Chief Information Officer.
The plan also will address training and education needs, Danis said at the
Information Technology Association of America's IT Workforce Convocation
in Chicago this week.
The Navy's goal this year and next is to build IM/IT competencies to shape
the work force of the future, she said. As part of its strategy, the Navy
plans to ensure that its IT infrastructure will support distributed learning
and plans to establish IM/IT competency guidelines for the rest of the work
force.
