20 Mar 15 - GS 13-14 Developmental Programs

Question:  Developmental Programs for GS 13-14 require a secret clearance.  For those folks who do not have a secret clearance (not a part of your job description), they cannot take advantage of the courses.

Answer: I would first recommend that you complete the CES Advanced Course as it is becoming a pre-requisite to many advanced courses.  If you would like to then apply to the Command and General Staff Officer Course (CGSOC) or the Executive Leader Development Program (ELDP) and do not have a secret clearance, I recommend that you first speak to your directorate regarding your professional development plans.  Your directorate can submit a memorandum through me to the DPTMS Security Division requesting for you to obtain a secret clearance with the intent of being accepted to one of the programs listed above or other executive-level courses.  The DPTMS Security Division will start the secret clearance process.  The timeframe for a secret clearance to be fully completed through all of the different channels is different for each person.
