Damp discussed ways for employees to enhance their careers through the development and implementation of realistic individual Development Plans (IDPs).

and determine the impact on your benefits and annuity.

Merit Promotion Program (MPP)

Our Federal Career Planning web site assists federal government employees to design realistic Individual Development Plans (IDPs) and target new jobs and promotional opportunities. Federal government employees have numerous and attractive career development and upward mobility opportunities available to them. Developed by a career fed with over 35 years federal service.

The Merit Promotion Program allows those who are status applicants (current federal employees or those who have reinstatement eligibility) to bid on job openings. MPP announcements are posted at most offices and on the internet. Many agencies have their own internet sites where you can view job announcements and print them out for future reference. OPM also publishes MPP announcements on their USAJOBS web site. Lists of federal job announcements are available on this site.

Agencies can restrict MPP announcements to applicants from their agency and many limit the geographical area of consideration.
