Civilian Talent Management Program
What is it'
Civilian Talent Management (CTM) aligns the senior civilian management at the GS-15 level with that of colonels, generals and the Senior Executive Service - providing an enterprise view of leadership positions and the available talent. The initiative is designed to fuse the Army's current and projected civilian leadership requirements with the individual employee's desires for reassignment and career growth. Currently, the Army has only limited visibility of its senior civilian workforce and the positions that they occupy.
What are the first steps of the program'
The Army is taking the first major step to the central management of senior civilians, kicking off talent pool registration this month. Because the number of eligible members of the talent pool is more than 11,000, registration will be a phased process per location/command. Career advisors will be visiting the eligible population in 25 central locations, offering program presentations and answering questions. The drive will begin June 8 at Fort Belvoir, Va., and will continue through early October. The full schedule is posted on the CTM Web site.

What are the next steps'
The initial focus of the CTMO is on 383 positions identified by Army senior leaders as Army Enterprise Positions (AEPs). The Army defines AEPs as those leading strategic thought, providing long-term planning and execution
