Abstract

Abstract: The author while serving as Deputy Director of the COMET, a program within the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, worked with the National Weather Service training division to implement a system to link job-based competencies to available training resources. The first step in this process was to develop a model for describing job competencies that would not be overly reductionist yet sufficiently capture what people needed to do in order to perform successfully. This model is called the Professional Development Series (PDS). In addition to framing the definition of job responsibilities and related competencies, the PDS also defines roles that help the operational side of an organization to partner more strongly with the training side of an organization. The final PDS outcome is a structure that can serve as the basis of Web sites that link training and education resources with job competencies.
