Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Training and Development Specialist (Survival and Field Preparedness)

Preparing personnel at high risk of isolation for SERE transfers directly to delivering civilian survival and field-preparedness instruction.

How to prepare: Prepare a sample civilian survival lesson and practical teaching demonstration that show how you adapt documented SERE instruction to the intended learners and environment.

What the civilian work involves
  • Present information with a variety of instructional techniques or formats, such as role playing, simulations, team exercises, group discussions, videos, or lectures.
  • Offer specific training programs to help workers maintain or improve job skills.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft PowerPoint
