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 Specialists

For officers who served as Space Operations instructors at TRADOC schools, that instruction experience supports civilian workforce training delivery.

How to prepare: Build a sample lesson for civilian learners using Microsoft PowerPoint, with a participant handout and a short assessment of learning.

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.
  • Obtain, organize, or develop training procedure manuals, guides, or course materials, such as handouts or visual materials.
  • Offer specific training programs to help workers maintain or improve job skills.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Adobe Acrobat
