The current workforce will need to be assessed for its competence in this set of KSAOs.

When positions come open, managers make a query to the talent management system to determine which employees are ready to come into open positions.

Often coupled with specific human resources information systems (HRIS) to facilitate tracking KSAOs in the workforce

Career Development Centers

Provide employees with opportunities to take interest inventories, assess their personal career goals, and interview with representatives across the organization
