Who has the responsibility for updating the CFETP in a specific career field?

The responsibility for updating the Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) lies with the Career Field Manager (CFM). The CFM is specifically designated to oversee the education and training requirements for a particular career field. This role includes ensuring that the CFETP is current and accurately reflects the necessary training and qualifications that personnel must meet to perform their duties effectively.

The CFM collaborates with various stakeholders within the career field to gather input, assess training needs, and incorporate changes based on new technology, evolving mission requirements, and other relevant factors. This proactive management ensures that all members of the career field are receiving the appropriate training throughout their careers.

While the Force Development Manager and other leaders play significant roles within the broader context of development and management, it is ultimately the CFM who has the specific duty to maintain the CFETP.
