What option must be selected to begin creation of the Civilian Acquired Skills PAR?

• A. Profile Management
• B. Career Management
• C. Action Taken Mapping
• D. Work History

Answer: (A)

Starting a Civilian Acquired Skills PAR begins in Profile Management. This area acts as the control center for an employee’s profile and the documents linked to them. From Profile Management, you initiate new records, route them for approvals, and attach necessary evidence or skill attestations. The PAR is intrinsically tied to the individual’s profile, so the process to create and manage it starts there.

Career Management focuses on broader development and career planning rather than starting a specific performance-record document. Action Taken Mapping is about tracking decisions or steps in a process, not the entry point for creating a PAR. Work History stores past employment details but does not initiate the PAR creation.
