Guidelines to Establish Qualifications for Computer Related Jobs.
Abstract
Purpose: To establish general guidelines that will assist management in determining educational and experience qualifications for Air Force computer related jobs. These same guidelines can be used to plan training and education programs for those jobs. Computer related refers to all categories of jobs where computers are employed, regardless of the type of job or application. Problem: Computer based systems form an essential element of every operational and support mission area in the Air Force. Unfortunately, the development, use, and maintenance of these computer based systems have been prone to errors, cost overruns, and schedule slippages. This has had an adverse effect on the operational readiness of the Air Force. One of the most serious causes of these problems is the lack of sufficient, qualified individuals in computer related job positions. A deeper understanding of the qualifications necessary for these jobs will contribute to solving the problems of computer based systems. Conclusion: The problem with computer personnel can be solved with a coordinated program of technology assessment and job analysis. The Software Technology for Adaptable Reliable Systems (STARS) program will accomplish this goal with adequate support. Other programs such as Project Boldstroke will assist in establishing a wide base of support for intelligent application of computer systems.
