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.

Business Continuity Planners

Experience assessing, reinforcing, and transitioning civilian institutions supports planning for continuity of essential services and governance.

How to prepare: Build a sample continuity plan for a public service, identifying critical processes, recovery priorities, and communications, then test it through a tabletop exercise.

What the civilian work involves
  • Develop emergency management plans for recovery decision making and communications, continuity of critical departmental processes, or temporary shut-down of non-critical departments to ensure continuity of operation and governance.
  • Test documented disaster recovery strategies and plans.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft SharePoint
