The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) Transition GPS (Goals, Plans, Success) Career Technical Training Track (CTTT) has been renamed to align with the Department of Labor’s (DOL) revised curriculum, and the course title will change from CTTT, to Career Exploration and Planning Track (CEPT).
“The Career Exploration and Planning Track workshop offers a unique opportunity for transitioning service members and their spouses to identify skills, increase awareness of training and credentialing programs, and develop an action plan to achieve career goals,” said Timothy Winter, Transition Assistance Program Lead, Department of Labor.
This course helps answer the transitioning service members’ common questions, such as, “What do I want to do, and how do I get there?”
The CEPT track focuses on these questions through personal career exploration, followed by researching and charting a course to attain necessary credentials towards successfully attaining career goals.
DOL assumed responsibility for the TAP CTTT in April 2017. This is aligned with the President’s Executive Order 13801, Expanding Apprenticeships in America. In conjunction with the Department of Labor Employment Workshop (DOLEW), DOL conducted a comprehensive review of the CTTT curriculum, including input from employers, industry associations, and other stakeholders.
Based on this review, DOL made significant improvements to the 2-day course. During the review process, DOL determined the title should better align with the content, thus the name change to CEPT. The CEPT course includes the following sections:
Assess Yourself: Look inward and conduct assessments of your interests, values, and aptitudes
Research the Market: Examine external influences and labor market information that may impact your choice of industry and occupation
Prepare Yourself: Consider training opportunities, types of credentials, qualifications needed for your occupations of interest, and funding options
Design the Path: Establish clear goals, evaluate training options, and build an action plan.Transitioning service members and spouses who attend the 2-day CEPT workshop complete personalized career development assessments of occupational interest, aptitudes, and work values. These assessments present workshop participants with a variety of tailored job recommendations aligned with their interests and aptitudes, some of which are classified as “high demand” or “high growth” occupations.
The course shows participants how to narrow their career focus by establishing achievable career goals and development strategies. Workshop facilitators guide participants through a variety of career considerations including labor market projections, education, apprenticeships, certifications, and licensure requirements.
Implementation of CEPT across all installations will be effective August 15, 2018. For more information, contact your local installation TAP office.
