5.2: Skills and Competencies

Shape the DIA workforce to ensure the critical workforce skills and competencies are in place to fulfill future mission requirements.

Other Information:

DIA will foster an environment where all members of the workforce can maximize their contribution to the mission. The civilian and military workforce must have access to developmental and work-related opportunities that will build attributes, skills, and capabilities in line with future expectations. This includes subject matter expertise, core management capabilities, and a well-rounded set of work experiences which position employees for promotion within the civilian or military ranks. DIA will: • Ensure the entire DIA workforce — regardless of grade, job series, or job location — is provided the required competency-based skills, tools, learning opportunities, and resources to maximize their ability to meet the changing environment of the 21st century. • Ensure the workforce is proficient in general, specialist, and managerial competencies to fulfill the Agency mission, and is provided a range of professional development and career opportunities to achieve this. • Ensure all personnel understand the core mission and functions of DIA and possess the requisite technical proficiencies and communication skills necessary to fully contribute to the Agency’s mission. • Expand interagency rotational programs to develop “jointness” across the IC and build deeper understanding of methods, requirements and capabilities. • Create the conditions, relationships, practices, tools, and support to develop an effective foreign language capability across the enterprise.
