IDE/SDE Timeline: TBD



Talent Marketplace

• Talent Marketplace will be used in place of AMS to:• View AF-wide billets• Publish/manage the Vulnerable to Move List (VML) • Request reclamas (request by Losing CC for officer to stay

in place)• Submit/prioritize requisitions for billets to be filled• Submit assignment preferences (in place of ADPs)



Talent Marketplace

• Officers on the VML can:• Verify / Update their profile and identify their Squadron CC

equivalent or above supervisor • Answer assignment intent questions (global and

community specific) • Search Talent Marketplace for open, validated billets • Build and prioritize their Marketplace Assignment

Preferences (MAPs) • See which billets are have been “favorited” by others and

which ones haven’t • See how they ranked among peers (for that VML Cycle)

and see commander inputs • See which Billets they’ve been bid to by Billet Owners



Talent Marketplace



Talent Marketplace

• Update your intent and preferences• Make sure your losing CC is correct. Only the member can update this info



Talent Marketplace

• Answer all of the Assignment Intent Questions, then click “Continue”



Talent Marketplace

• Location Desirability defaults your preference to 3 stars. Update based on your desire to serve at that location.• Note: This is base-specific, not billet-specific.



Talent Marketplace

• Search specific billets, click the “ ” icon under “My Favorites” to add a billet as a favorite. When you are done click “Continue”.



Talent Marketplace

• Rank your preferences from top to bottom (1 to X)• Statistics on the right show how many favorited that billet, placed it

within their top 3 and made it their #1



Talent Marketplace

• Select the “My VML Status” tile to review your preferred billets and any billets you have been bid to.



AFPC: Officer Assignments



Mentoring



Mentoring

• MyVector supports a SecAF and CSAF priority focused on increasing mentoring across the Air Force



Mentoring

• The "Find A Mentor" capability allows mentees to search for mentors based on a variety of criteria• Level of education, family status, rank/grade, functional

area, etc. • In cases where Airmen cannot find a mentor through the

match capability that meets their desired criteria, they can by-name request a mentor that is registered in MyVector using that individual's email address through the "Direct Connect"

• Mentors and mentees can review past experience, plan for career development and use tools like the bullet tracker, and discussion forums
