https://bit.ly/45D3xKz - 💻 The Defense Department is planning to expand its Cyber Excepted Service (CES), potentially offering more competitive salaries to an additional tens of thousands of IT workers. Originally permitted by Congress seven years ago, CES currently covers about 15,000 positions. The Pentagon is proposing legislation to extend this to 75,000 employees. #CyberSecurity #DoD 🚀 Patrick Johnson, the director of the DoD CIO’s Workforce Innovation Directorate, believes that the DoD's cyber workforce extends beyond the current confines of the CES. However, he acknowledges cost considerations and implies a quality over quantity approach. "It would cost us a little but more to have people in CES, but I always argue you get what you pay for." #Innovation #WorkforceDevelopment 💵 Implementing the new Special Salary Rate (SSR) for 2210-classified IT and cyber positions would cost the DoD an estimated $740 million per year. Johnson indicates that the DoD is unlikely to opt into the SSR due to budget constraints and prefers a more targeted approach. #Budgeting #GovTech 🎯 CES provides individual DoD commands the flexibility to select the positions they want to move into the new system. It offers "targeted local market supplements," calibrating pay rates to the local rates for IT professionals. Johnson would rather focus on high attrition rate roles to manage vacancies strategically. #HRStrategy #WorkforcePlanning 🔍 The Defense Department has identified 72 distinct work roles in its recently-released cyber workforce strategy, an effort to classify employees according to the actual work they do, not just their job title or occupational series. This new, more nuanced approach includes roles for AI, data, and software-related work.
