Career Services

Career development is sometimes also referred to as employee development, or even human capital development and is generally directed towards current agency employees.  Career development is designed to help current employees advance within an agency and improving the agency while improving themselves.  A good career development program can be a retention (and even recruitment) aid.

Federal Career Experts can:

• Help an agency design and implement a career development program.
• Provide career counselors or consultants on a contract basis.
• Provide training and assistance for agency HR and Training specialists to improve their career consulting skills.
• Deliver high quality employee development seminars to current agency employees.  The seminars can be adjusted to fit the needs of any customer and can contain any or all of the following topics:
  
  
  • Career exploration (including assessment instruments if desired)
  • Discovering and preparing for opportunities
  • Résumés and applications (including automated application systems)
  • Interviewing

Career transition consists of helping employees who are potentially affected by agency reorganizations make a transition to a new career, a new agency, or the private sector.  Federal Career Experts trainers and consultants are primarily former federal employees who understand the unique needs of federal employees facing transitions.

Federal Career Experts can:

• Provide career transition or outplacement consultants to work individually with employees.  Based on agency needs, these consultants can be experts in the federal sector, the private sector, or both.

• Deliver high quality career transition or outplacement seminars to agency employees who are potentially affected by an agency reorganization, base closing or downsizing.  Like our employee development seminars, these seminars can be adjusted to fit the needs of any customer and can contain any or all of the following topics:

• • Career exploration (including assessment instruments if desired)
  • Discovering and preparing for opportunities
    
    • The federal job search

    • The private sector job search and how it is different
  • Résumés and applications (including automated application systems)
    
    • How private sector résumés differ from federal applications
  • Interviewing
    
    • How the private sector interview process differs from that of the federal sector
