What is it? The Army Career Tracker is a web-based career management tool that will integrate training, assignment history, and formal/informal education paths. The Army Career Tracker will enable Soldiers and Civilians to holistically manage their career and allow leaders to mentor, counsel, and plan for the development of their subordinates. It will consolidate training, education and assignment data relevant to position and career level. Functionalities will include ability to receive career related information and recommendations from superiors and to execute development related activities from a single launch point. The portal will also provide efficient mechanisms for registering for courses, requesting assignments, and tracking completion of requirements to support their career advancement.
What has the Army done? The development of Army Career Tracker started in October 2007 and a pilot program is anticipated for release in spring 2008. The Army Career Tracker portal is being created to support the Army initiative grow leaders for tomorrow's strategic environment.
What efforts does the Army plan to continue in the future? The end state of the Army Career Tracker effort will provide valuable career information, in a fast, efficient and secure manner, to a range of levels throughout the Army. Army Career Tracker will enhance the Army's ability to build its personnel bench in preparing for its current and future operational needs. Additional functionalities will also provide commanders and assignment officers with integrated information on education, training, and prior assignments to support the optimal deployment of personnel and the identification of training and assignment needs to support mission readiness.
Why is this important to the Army? The Army Career Tracker portal will initially provide Enlisted Soldiers (Officers and Civilians will be added in the near future) a current view of their integrated career transcript. To provide this transcript, the Army Career Tracker portal will link with many other Army systems that house information on
assignments, training and education. The Army Career Tracker will also support the current initiative to award college credits for Army training, in conjunction with partners in the higher education, by providing a cross walk of Army training to higher education credits.
