Civilian Personnel
TRAINING AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR INTERN
AND INTERMEDIATE LEVEL ARCHITECTS
1. Purpose. This Engineer Pamphlet (EP) provides policy, guidance, and procedures
concerning the development of training and career development plans for intern and
intermediate level personnel in the occupational series of GS-0808-Architecture
(architects) within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
2. Applicability. This pamphlet applies to all Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (HQUSACE) elements, major subordinate commands (MSC), districts,
laboratories, and field operating activities (FOA).
3. References. References and additional information resources are listed at
Appendix A.
4. Background.
a. Architectural positions at the intern (GS-0808-5/9) and intermediate (GS-0808-
11/12) levels are included in the Engineers and Scientists (Resources and
Construction) (ESRC) career program. Training and development plans for the ESRC
career program have been developed along functional lines rather than by
occupational series. The six functional areas include engineering. Civil Works
planning, construction, operations, facilities, and research and development. However,
in the occupational series of GS-0808-Architecture, more specific training and
development planning are necessary for intern and intermediate level career program
employees/individual due to unique requirements imposed by state architectural
registration boards which explained at Appendix B.
b. Chapter 11 of AR 690-950 defines a Master Intern Training Plan (MITP), and
postintern training and development for all individuals in the ESRC career program.
MITP requires interns to complete rotational assignments of approximately four
months each in the functional areas of engineering, planning, construction, and
operations. In addition, a facilities engineering orientation of at least four weeks is
required. Interns in research and development activities are required to complete
rational assignments within their research specialties. Postintern training and
