How will IPPS-A Boost Your Career?

IPPS-A is the critical enabler for the transition to a Talent Management system and an human resources data-rich environment. 

The Army is changing, and it needs Soldiers with the right skills to help build the future Force.  
 
Soldiers must regularly update their Soldier Talent Profile (STP) with their Knowledge, Skills and Behaviors (KSBs). This one simple action will maximize their potential and career progression and ensure that they are taking ownership of their career.

Soldier Talent Profile (STP)

IPPS-A includes the Soldier Talent Profile (STP) and allows the management of a Soldier’s career from Accession through Transition. The STP provides a detailed level of workplace characteristics on each Soldier in our force. This includes hundreds of data elements regarding knowledge, skills, behaviors, experiences and readiness. When pieced together, the data provides a holistic talent profile of a Soldier. IPPS-A will deliver improved talent information flow and greater transparency between all Components of the Army to employ and retain its very best. IPPS-A’s STP is a way to enhance Army Readiness by maximizing the potential of the Army’s greatest asset — the Soldier.
