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

Delivering Navy instructor and senior enlisted development courses transfers directly to workplace instructor preparation and leadership training.

  • 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)
