KSA - Definitions
|
The IDP form in
Take Charge of Your Federal Career
has a column for training objectives. These are objectives you have for
developing certain knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) in order to
reach a goal. Describing your developmental objectives as KSAs is
important because KSAs provide the basis for the IDP. Once KSAs are
identified, even in rough form, you are in a good position to decide on
just the right combination of formal courses and alternative training
methods to develop the KSAs you need.
