Publication:Sea Talk Spring 2007/Online access to career management information - Navy People Central

By CAPT Michael Noonan, Director of Sailors' Career Management.

The Directorates of Sailors' Career Management Naval Officers' Postings have developed the Navy People Central portal as part of the Sea Change initiative to improve access by members to career management information.

Navy People Central can be accessed via PMKeys Self Service and is available to all permanent and naval reserve personnel. Navy People Central is the leading resource for naval personnel and career management information, and provides alternate access to information on the DSCM and DNOP intranet sites. Furthermore, the information in Navy People Central is presented in a more user friendly format.

Navy People Central provides a search function not before available to Navy members. A sailor or an officer can now search for an available position, or upcoming position, using their category and rank throughout Australia as well as overseas. The facility also exists to search across Maybe Any Category (MAC) and Maybe Any Specialisation (MAS) billets. Members are able to view the duty statements of certain jobs and plan courses in conjunction with their Five Year Career Plan.

Navy People Central also contains career management policy from ABR 10, ABR 6289, promotion information, List of Sailors Postings, List of Officers Postings, promotion signals, reserve information, individual retention benefits information, and education and transition information.

The site is updated with new and up-to-date information on a daily basis so why not have a look and see what you can find. (pmkportal.dcb.defence.gov.au/psp/pkdssp1).
