    WASHINGTON - With the launch of GoArmyEd, Army Career Tracker (ACT) has become even more essential for careerists. GoArmyEd “pulls” its information directly from the ACT website. All supervisor information and Individual Development Plan (IDP) information is pulled from ACT and auto-populated into GoArmyEd. Because of this, it is important for each careerist to keep his/her ACT page updated. It is also important for each supervisor to review his/her employees’ pending requests and IDP drafts on a regular basis.

    The IDP is an important tool for every careerist to have and keep updated. Any course or training that you want to take should be included in the IDP on the ACT website. After logging in to www.actnow.army.mil, each careerist will be directed to their homepage. In order to add items to an IDP, the first step is to add professional goals to the My Planner/Career Map section of ACT.

    *This is only one of several ways to add items to your IDP. The “Getting Started” tab has step-by-step instructions for identifying Leaders and Mentors, Reviewing personalized Information; Identifying and Creating Goals, and Creating an IDP.

    1. Logon to www.actnow.army.mil

    2. Select the “My Planner/Career Map” tab.

    3. Select “Create Professional Goal” in order to add items to your IDP.

    4. Check the “IDP Goal” box in order to include this new goal on your IDP.

    5. Select the “Associate Course/Class” button in order to perform a course search.

    6. Type in all or part of the course name and select “Go." A drop-down list will have a selection of matching courses. Select the course you want and then click “Submit."

    7. Ensure you have the date of your goal, a subject, the term, and priority all filled out before clicking “Add Professional Goal".

    8. Repeat steps 3-7 for each new course you’d like to add to your IDP.

    9. In order to create or view your IDP, select the “My IDP” tab.

    10. To create a new IDP, select “Create New IDP.”

    11. Identify the start and end dates of this particular IDP. Only the courses that you have added that occur within these dates will show in the “IDP Goals” section.

    12. Once you’ve selected the dates and see all the courses you wish to include, click the “Save” button.

    13. Your IDP is now in DRAFT form. In order to submit the IDP to your supervisor for review and approval, click the “Submit” button. The IDP will then route to your supervisor, as identified in ACT, for review and approval.

    14. You will be able to see if your IDP is still Pending Review and if it is Approved.

    15. You can print your IDP at anytime by selecting the “Printable Version” icon.
