Communications - Computer Systems Planning and Implementation, AFSC 3C3X1
Abstract
The Communications-Computer Systems Planning and Implementation career ladder was surveyed to provide current job and task data for use in updating career ladder documents and training programs. Survey results are based on responses from 571 Active Duty (AD) and Air National Guard (ANG) members accounting for 56 percent of the total surveyed population. Four clusters and four independent jobs were identified in the 3C3Xl structure analysis accounting for 84 percent of the total sample. The remaining 16 percent did not fall into any of the identified jobs and clusters. The Plans/Implementations Cluster encompassed the largest percentage of this career ladder. Respondents from this cluster perform the core work of the 3C3X1 specialty, from planning and implementation to requirements analysis and identification. The second largest group identified was the Automated Data Processing Equipment (ADPE) Management Cluster. Members from this cluster are predominantly ANG and perform tasks largely set apart from the rest of the career ladder. Other groups identified include the Unit Deployment Manager Cluster, Financial/Contracting Cluster, CSIR Monitor Job, Requirements Processing Job, Training Superintendent Job, and Architecture/Integration Superintendent Job. AFSC 3C3Xl personnel progress atypically through the career ladder. Only a small number of DAFSC 3C33 1 members are in this career ladder (most jobs require at least a 5-skill level). Mainly 5- and 7-skill level members perform the core work. There is some broadening into management and supervisory tasks for the 7-skill levels, but not as pronounced as in other career ladders. At the 9-skill level, members perform high-level planning and coordination activities and spend a low amount of time supervising. ANG 9-skill level members perform many training tasks as well.
