A Job Survey of the Manpower, Personnel and Training Analysis Community in Relation to the Naval Postgraduate School Curriculum.
Abstract
The role of the Manpower, Personnel and Training Analysis (MPTA) subspecialist is becoming increasingly more important in the Navy, although not all MPTA billets are filled by subspecialists. This study surveyed both designated and non-designated subspecialist incumbents of MPTA billets by means of a questionnaire to ascertain whether the Naval Postgraduate School MPTA curriculum prepares its graduates adequately for the wide spectrum of manpower billets. The study considered specific areas of work, skills required to perform satisfactorily in the billets, the relationship of the Educational Skill Requirements of the NPS curriculum to the billet work requirements and the perceived usefulness of required curriculum courses to billet incumbents. The key attitudinal response to the questionnaire was a need for specificity of institutional knowledge. Recommendations for course and curriculum content are offered as a result of the study.
