If the incumbent was initially and competitively selected to fill the position, promotion to the next higher level is achieved as a non-competitive career promotion, in accordance with applicable regulations; and, after qualification and eligibility requirements are satisfied. The supervisor and the Human Resource staffing and classification specialists must confirm that incumbent is performing the full scope and range of duties required by the next higher level in a satisfactory manner while under appropriate supervisory controls. In this developmental position, the incumbent receives tailored instructions, guidance, training, and supervision that are designed to provide the incumbent with the necessary and appropriate competencies for successful performance results at the full performance level/target position.
