Jim Banks (R-Ind.) thinks so highly of the program that he introduced a bill to take CIPP out of its pilot status. Military officials constantly tout CIPP as a way the military is becoming more flexible to retain talent. In February, DoD acknowledged CIPP is a “well-received program across the services and a more permanent version is still in consideration,” said Air Force Maj. “Permanent authority will institutionalize this program as an innovating and modern force management and retention tool in the talent management toolkits of the services.” “We believe that after eight years of experience, lessons learned, feedback from participants, and observation of retention behavior, changing the current statutory authority from a pilot program to a permanent authority is warranted,” he said. The Navy changed the name of CIPP to the Career Intermission Program, but it still functions legally as a pilot program.Īnthony Kurta, then performing the duties of undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, told Federal News Radio in November he supported institutionalizing the program. In return, the service member must serve two months for every month CIPP is used once he/she returns to active duty. During that time, participants will not have to meet the same benchmarks in their military career as their active duty peers. Robert Burke, Navy deputy chief of naval operations for manpower, personnel, training and education, told Federal News Radio as part of the special report Taking a break to retain talent in the military.ĬIPP lets soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines move from active duty to the reserves for one-to-three years. We think it’s vital to have alternatives to getting out of the Navy to seek life/work balance,” Vice Adm. In fact, the proposal was initiated by the Navy and we’ve been seeking for the past couple of years to make it a permanent program. “Navy is a big fan of the career intermission program. The Pentagon, and especially the Navy, hope institutionalizing the Career Intermission Pilot Program (CIPP) will help retain troops invested in the military longer by letting some leave to improve their skill sets and return, while at the same time widening the pool of people who may be interested in serving.īut while CIPP is widely available to service members, the number of troops actually signing up and taking advantage of it are less than 10 percent of what Congress allows by law per year.ĭespite the anemic participation, some military officials tout the program as a way the military is making service more flexible. ![]() ![]() In our exclusive ebook, sponsored by RiskRecon, pick up tips from GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, NIST, State and Carnegie Mellon’s Software Engineering Institute.
