2 Traffic Management Competency-Based Learning Map Overview The United States Marine Corps (USMC) Logistics Community of Interest (COI) developed this competency-based learning map to support 2130 Traffic Management series professional development of technical competencies and training. This learning map is organized by a group of competencies, which together define successful performance in the 2130 Traffic Management series. Competency-based learning maps are essential resources for career development and useful for identifying the knowledge and skillsets needed to meet and/or enhance their skills in this occupational series. Learning maps are comprised of several components, described in Table 1 below: Competency Titles and Definitions Proficiency Target Levels Behavioral Indicators (BIs) Training Table 1. Components of a Competency-Based Learning Map Describe the capabilities required within a particular position or job role Define different levels of required performance (Entry, Journeyman, Expert) within a competency area Examples of activities performed by an individual that illustrate how a competency is demonstrated at varying levels of proficiency: Entry, Journeyman, and Expert Mandatory: Training required to be completed based on Federal, State, or Marine Corps requirements/regulations Recommended: Core, Core-Plus, and Sustainment training identified to enhance performance in competency areas Core: Initial training that all personnel should have in related position from entry to senior levels Core-Plus: Advanced training that is necessary for career progression that all mid-senior personnel should have in addition to the core training. Core-Plus training is recommended for personnel from General Schedule (GS)-12 to GS-15 Sustainment: Training intended to maintain credentials or a good training course to have, but not necessary for career advancement Page 2

3 Traffic Management Series Defined The 2130 series includes positions that involve (1) performing, administering, or supervising technical and analytical work concerned with planning, development, and execution of traffic policies and programs; or (2) directing and managing programs to obtain the economical and efficient transportation of freight, personal property, and/or passengers. Positions in this occupation primarily require a knowledge of Federal traffic management principles and policies; transportation industry operations, practices, and capabilities; special handling or movement requirements associated with freight, passengers, or other transportation operations; and the relationship of traffic management to other agency or organizational programs and functions. Competency Areas Six competencies have been identified for the successful performance in the 2130 series: 1. Materiel Transportation Management 4. Transportation Finance 2. Personal Property Transportation Management 5. Transportation Process Analysis 3. Personnel Transportation Management 6. Mobility Planning Proficiency and Skill Band Definitions The Proficiency Rating Scale (Table 2) below details the rating given for each level of proficiency and its corresponding definition. Proficiency levels describe the degree of competency required to perform a specific job successfully; these levels relate to the work required for a specific job. Different jobs require different levels of proficiency for successful performance. The proficiency levels provided in this learning map indicate the minimum proficiency target for successful performance. Table 2. Proficiency Rating Scale 1 Basic No Proficiency Conceptual Knowledge Only/No Experience 2 Applied Low Proficiency Able to Apply with Help 3 Intermediate Moderate Proficiency Able to Apply Autonomously 4 Advanced High Proficiency Proficient/Able to Help Others 5 Expert Very High Proficiency Expert Knowledge The USMC COIs have outlined a career progress structure that more accurately reflects the change in your abilities and responsibilities over time. That structure is called the Skill Level Structure (Table 3). It is associated with each occupational series and follows you from the time you are an entry-level employee until you attain the level of a management employee. Career progress in the USMC has traditionally been based on the federal government pay schedule system. The ratings within the pay schedule system are associated with Job Skill Levels within the 2130 series indicated as follows: Page 3

4 Table 3. Skill Level Structure Job Skill Level Definition Pay Plan Beginning Grade Target Grade 1 Entry GS Journeyman GS Expert GS Behavioral Indicators (BIs) It is important to define how competencies are manifested at different skill levels. Behavioral Indicators are on-the-job examples of behaviors and activities that illustrate how a competency is demonstrated at varying skill levels and provide an objective description of the behavior that can be observed in an individual as evidence that they either have or do not have the skills at the required level needed for the competency. These are examples of what the competency could look like at varying skill levels and are not inclusive of all behaviors demonstrating the competency for each skill level. This information is provided as a tool to help guide evaluations of employee proficiency; however, it should not be used as a checklist for employees' behaviors. Certifications and Training Certifications are a practical option for formalizing a specific competency or skillset. The Logistics COI has identified several certifications (Table 4) that are applicable to the 2130 series. While these certifications are not required, staff are encouraged to complete these programs to improve and formalize their skillsets. However, some certifications below may be required according to your command and billet. Work with your supervisor to ensure you meet command certification training requirements. Table 4. Certifications Certification / Program Navy TARP Certification for Wood Packaging Materials (WPM) HAZMAT Certifications Air Load Plan Certification Convention for Safe Containers (CSC) CPI Yellow, Green, and Black Belt Vendor Navy Navy/Air Force Army/Air Force Army and Oklahoma State USMC/United States Navy (USN) The Core, Core-Plus, and Sustainment training courses found in Appendix A are recommended and may not be inclusive of all training available. These courses are aligned to competencies throughout the learning map. Training titles and vendors are subject to change as the courses evolve. Additionally, several external resources (Defense Acquisition University (DAU), MarineNet, Learning Tree, Lynda.com, etc.) provide a variety of training opportunities available to all personnel for professional knowledge and skill enhancement.

5 Competency Model A competency model is a group of competencies that together define successful performance in a particular occupation. The Logistics COI has adapted this model from the Department of the Navy (DON) Office of Civilian Human Resources (OCHR) for the 2130 series. The competency model, to include definitions, corresponding BIs, minimum proficiency target levels, and training has been provided in the charts below. Page 5
