Equal Employment Opportunity (CP-28)

EEO Careerists at grades GS 11 through 15 or equivalents under NSPS are eligible to apply for professional development opportunities described below. Nomination forms for all assignments must be completed and forwarded to the FCR through the chain of command to be considered. Competition for funds is keen; therefore, submit nominations indicating your preferred assignment as early as possible.

• Careerists may elect a two to three month detail to an assignment determined to be career enhancing for the individual. A statement of interest must indicate how the desired assignment would be career broadening in conjunction with identified goals of the careerists. Developmental assignments may include a detail at the HQ Army level, Army Command level, or with another Federal agency, or a congressional committee. Applicants may also request a specific assignment that provides exposure and experience in civil rights and related legislation/issues. Career Program Managers should assist applicants in identifying suitable assignments.
• Selected careerists will be funded only for travel and per diem as authorized in the Joint Travel Regulations. Salary and benefits will not be reimbursed.

CES is composed of seven leader development courses. Four of the courses replace the previous inventory of legacy courses offered for Army Civilians-Foundation Course (FC), Basic Course (BC), Intermediate Course (IC), and Advanced Course (AC).

In addition, the CES leader development program includes the Action Officer Development Course (AODC), Supervisory Development Course (SDC), and the Manager Development Course (MDC). Qualified Army civilians may also be eligible to attend Senior Service College (SSC). Detailed descriptions of these courses can be found in Chapter 1 of the ACTEDS Training Catalog.

CES applications are processed through the Civilian Human Resources Training Application System (CHRTAS). CHRTAS is an automated management system that allows you to develop and record completed training, apply for Civilian Human Resource and NSPS courses, and the four new CES courses. Your CES leader development experience starts at https://www.atrrs.army.mil/channels/chrtas. Begin by preparing/updating your profile, which contains critical information needed to process your application. Once this is complete, you can search for courses and apply for training.

Additional information on CES and available courses may be found on the Army Management Staff College (AMSC) web site at http://www.amsc.belvoir.army.mil/academic/ces/.

See the Army Management Staff College (AMSC) web site for information about course dates, locations and prerequisites.
