Help Wanted: Labor Dept. Questionnaire on Security Occupations
Research Triangle Institute (RTI), on behalf of the U.S. Department of Labor, is soliciting your expert input as it researches two security-related occupations for the Occupational Information Network, or O*NET (http://www.doleta.gov/programs/onet/), the nation's primary source of occupational information.
O*NET is gathering this information for a national database that is being used by millions of employers, workers, educators and students across the country. This database provides information about the skills, abilities, activities, and work context for about 900 occupations nationwide.
O*NET is asking SARMA and its members to provide current and essential information about Security Managers. This is a worthwhile endeavor that will help the general public understand the responsibilities of the occupations. By completing and returning the O*NET questionnaires, you will contribute to a key resource, providing our nation's citizens with continuously updated occupational information. Responses from experts such as yourself will be combined to define the skills, knowledge and other aspects of work in your field.
O*NET is currently researching the knowledge required, the way the work is performed, and typical work settings for the following two occupations:
Security Managers: (O*NET SOC # 11-9199.57) Direct an organization's security functions, including physical security and safety of employees, facilities, and assets.
Security Management Specialists: (O*NET SOC # 13-1199.52) Conduct security assessments for organizations, and design security systems and processes. May specialize in areas such as physical security, personnel security, and information security. May work in fields such as health care, banking, gaming, security engineering, or manufacturing.
Do you have at least five years' experience in either one of these categories? Are you still active in the occupation, including teaching, training or supervising?
If so, please email or call Traci Davis at the O*NET Operations Center at RTI (tdavis@onet.rti.org or 877-233-7348, ext. 109) and provide the following information:
Which occupation describes your experience best -- Security Manager or Security Management Specialist?
Name:
Daytime Phone/Address:
Email Address:
Years of experience with the occupation:
Your area of focus, sub-specialty or industry:
Ms. Davis will respond with more specific information about the project. The information experts provide about the occupation will be combined with responses from other professionals from across the country and will become the government reference for the work on www.onetcenter.org. Contact information submitted by experts will be kept confidential. More informnation about O*NET can be found here.
SARMA encourages you to participate in this important project!
