21. How It Works Career Planning Cycle Process By design, the Career Planning Cycle (CPC) process builds upon the recurring and frequent supervisor/employee interaction facilitated by the Individual Development Plan (IDP). The employee starts the CPC process by opting-in to receive career planning guidance. The levels of endorsement within the CPC Process are Supervisor, Local, MAJCOM and AF FM Development Team. With guidance, each level determines its recommendation and chooses to either Address the submission at their level or Push the submission for higher level endorsement.
