MOC Crosswalk Overview
The purpose of this module is to identify skills, experience, credentials, and education obtainedin the military and help you align them with civilian opportunities. Whether you have alreadyidentified your future career or you plan to seek further training, this module allows you to
document skills you developed while serving. Additionally, this module assists in identifying

credentials that are useful in the civilian sector.
The Gap Analysis form completed during this course is used to identify and document gaps inyour knowledge, education, skills, or credentials as you prepare for your next career. The Gap
Analysis is also the Career Readiness Standard (CRS) for the MOC Crosswalk module. For
Reserve or Guard members returning to your civilian employment, this module will be useful in
helping you align your military training with current and future career goals.

MOC Crosswalk
The purpose of developing a crosswalk of your Military Occupational Classification (MOC)—
Military Occupation Specialty (MOS)/Ratings/Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC)—is to relate
civilian career opportunities and requirements to your military education, training, andexperience. The MOC Crosswalk helps you identify your skills, experience, and abilities. The
MOC Crosswalk also helps translate them into civilian terminology.
Some Service members know they want to pursue education, obtain a specific career, go intobusiness for themselves, work part-time, or enter a technical field. Others are undecided andcould use more exploration and assistance in their career search. No matter what your posttransition plans are, identifying, understanding, and documenting your current skills, level of
education, and experience and comparing your abilities to those required for a civilian
occupation will assist in your transition. You will complete this activity by conducting research,
completing the MOC Crosswalk, and documenting any gaps on the Gap Analysis.

MOC Crosswalk Process
Translating your education, training, experience, and skills into civilian career goals is a multistep process that can have a variety of outcomes.

The crosswalk process is as follows:
1. Examine your military experience and training record.
2. Identify civilian occupations/careers that correlate to your career goals and skills/abilities or
identify a chosen career field.
3. Identify the education, experience, and credentials required for the identified occupation/
career field.
4. Document the gap between your current skill set and what is required for your civilian
occupation/career field.

MOC Crosswalk Participant Guide 2023 Page 4

Gap Analysis
The main tool of the MOC Crosswalk is the Gap Analysis. When completed, it will provide a
visual presentation of the “gaps” in your education, experience, and credentials. The document
has three columns that are completed in the following order:

Left column: Where am I now? is for documenting skills you gained in the military orfrom the civilian sector. During this section, the VMET, Service transcripts, evaluations,and other military documentation will be extremely useful in creating a personalized listof hard and soft skills.

Right column: Where am I going? is used to identify the skills, education, andcertifications required to be successful in a civilian occupation.

Middle column: What do I need to fill in the Gap? is used to identify the gap between
the skills and education you possess currently (left column) and those you need toacquire to be successful in your civilian occupation (right column).

The following is an example of a MOC Crosswalk documented on the Gap Analysis. Servicespecific examples for enlisted personnel and officers are included in the Appendix.

MOC Crosswalk Participant Guide 2023 Page 5

Left Column: Where am I now?
The first block on the Gap Analysis captures experience and skills. Information in the box shouldreflect your current skills and encourage you to think about your level of experience and theskills (hard and soft) that you have attained prior to and while in the Service. Complete this box
by conducting a thorough review of your civilian and military experience and training anddetermining your skills, both hard and soft.

Skills: Hard and Soft
Hard skills, also referred to as technical skills, are defined as specific, teachable knowledge, orabilities which can be measured and defined. If you speak a foreign language or can type 90
words a minute, an employer can easily test these skills.
Soft skills, also called non-technical skills, are harder to define, as they are characteristics basedon personality and interpersonal interaction. Common soft skills include leadership, teambuilding, and problem solving.
As a Service member, you have received extensive, formal training in both hard and soft skills,
but it can be the soft skills – such as teamwork, oral and written communication, andcontinuous learning – that employers value most.

Finding Your Skills
Step 1: Think about what you do daily. Do you
type, use a computer, repair radios, work on
vehicles, speak a foreign language? What tasks
do you complete daily? What skills are required
to complete these tasks? Determine if they are
hard or soft skills and add them to the chart that
follows.

Step 2: The following chart contains soft skills common to Service members as identified by a
RAND study. Review the list, determine which skills you have, and add them to thechart above.
For further assistance in determining and translating your skills, see additional RAND
study findings in the Appendix.

Translating Your Skills
One of the most challenging and essential tasks when preparing for transition is translating theskills you gained during your military Service into terms that employers and higher education
personnel can understand. Start by avoiding the use of military jargon and acronyms whendescribing your skills. Consider using the actions below to learn the appropriate civilian
terminology for the career field you plan to pursue:Schedule informational interviews with employees in the position you are pursuing.
Find a mentor who is working in your desired career field.
Use LinkedIn to follow companies and connect with professionals in the field.
Read industry professional publications and blogs, view related YouTube videos, and searchjob descriptions for skills which overlap with or match your skills.

Using the terminology used by civilians to describe your skills gained in the military will help
employers and higher education personnel understand how you can benefit them and fit in to
their environments. The Department of Labor Employment Fundamentals of Career Transition(EFCT) course explores translating military terminology into civilian terms and provides
resources to assist with translation during your employment search and after transition.

MOC Crosswalk Participant Guide 2023 Page 9

Tools of Transition
The second block of the Gap Analysis is about education and training. Useful documentation tounderstand your education and training taken during your military Service is included in yourVMET, JST, CCAF transcript, ESS-CG, and CG-4082. While each document will provide
information on education and training, realize that skills, experience, and documentation of
credentials may also be included.

 Verification of Military Experience and Training (VMET)The VMET document is an integrated form, which displays demographic, training, andexperience information retrieved from various automated sources for all Services except the
Coast Guard.
Descriptive summaries of military work experience, training history, and language proficiencies
are included on the VMET. Civilian equivalent job titles for MOC/MOS/Ratings/AFSC are also
included, but only for enlisted ranks. Officers should refer to their Officer Evaluation Report(OER) and Officer Record Brief (ORB) for this information.
Download your VMET at https://milconnect.dmdc.osd.mil/milconnect/public/faq/TrainingVMET.
The VMET is a complete history of military training and work experience. It is a record of every
position you have held, dates of rank, and position descriptions. Under the training, it should
list all schools you have attended for the military, including dates of attendance, length ofcourse, learning objectives, and course descriptions. It may also include off-duty education as
well as foreign language proficiencies. With this much information, it may be difficult tounderstand exactly where to look for the pertinent information.

VMET UpdatesYour VMET may not be completely up to date. Typically, there is a 3-6-month lag
between the date of an activity and when it appears on your VMET. The Date ofInformation (block 5) on your VMET document indicates the last date your information
was received from the Services and added to your VMET. An incomplete VMET has noeffect on transition. For information on updating your VMET, visit
https://milconnect.dmdc.osd.mil/milconnect/public/faq/Training-VMET.

 Employee Summary Sheet (ESS-CG) (U. S. Coast Guard)
As a member of the Coast Guard, you will NOT have a VMET. Your equivalent document for the
Coast Guard is the Employee Summary Sheet (ESS-CG).

To obtain a current copy of your ESS-CG, use your CAC to access https://cgbi.osc.uscg.mil/. A
CAC is required to access your ESS-CG, which means it may not be available after
separation/retirement. Note: Only CG personnel have access to this site.

 Service Transcripts
Service transcripts refer to the JST, the CCAF transcript, and the CG-4082. These can beobtained online or through the base education office. You can easily access your transcript bydownloading it from the JST or CCAF website, while the CG-4082 must be requested from youradministrative office. These are available for all ranks (enlisted, officer, and warrant officer).

civilian career paths. When using Tuition Assistance (TA), the school is required to provide theinformation on courses and grades to the Service who in turn will supply the information for
the JST.
If you paid for your classes or have previous college courses and wish to have them added toyour JST, you must send an official copy of your college transcript to your Service’s JST or
education office.
These resources may overlap with the VMET or ESS-CG.

LicenseCertification

Certificate

Credentialing
The last block under “Where am I now?” is about credentialing. Some occupations haveprofessional and technical standards required to perform the job. The process of meeting thesestandards and earning official recognition in the form of licenses, certifications, or certificates isalso known as credentialing.

MOC Crosswalk Participant Guide 2023 Page 13 Types of Credentials
License: Governmental agencies (federal, state, or local) grant licenses to individuals to practicea specific occupation, such as a medical license for doctors. Licenses are typicallymandatory.
Certification: Non-governmental agencies, associations, and private-sector companies may
grant certifications to individuals who meet predetermined qualifications, generally set byprofessional associations.
Certificate: Documentation provided by training programs in which participants receive a
certificate of attendance or completion that signifies the provision of information, but not
proof of competency.
Licenses and certifications supply documented proof of your ability to perform in a certifiable
career field by validating professional knowledge and skills gained through experience,education, training, and testing. However, not all credentials obtained in the military arerecognized by civilian credentialing agencies. A credential may only be recognized by either the
military or civilian sectors; some are recognized by both.

 Credentials During Military Service
Some military trainings include requirements that will lead to a state or federal license,
certification, or certificate. If completing the requirements was part of a training event, thecredential may be listed on the VMET, JST, CCAF transcript, ESS-CG, or CG-4082.
If the credential was completed outside of the military, during off hours, or prior to entering themilitary, it will not be documented unless the certified proof of completion was provided to theService.

 Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL)
COOL is another avenue through which you can obtain a credential. During your time in theService, you may have been provided the training and experience necessary to obtain acredential. Service-specific COOL websites provide the information needed to determine if your
MOC/MOS/Ratings/AFSC relates to a credential.
COOL websites also help determine if you are eligible for a credential and explain the steps
required to meet civilian certification and licensure requirements related to your current ratings,
job, designators, or future occupations.

2. Complete the Where am I now? sectionof the Gap Analysis

MOC Crosswalk Participant Guide 2023 Page 16

Right Column: Where am I going?
The right column on the Gap Analysis captures where you are going or which occupation you
are interested in pursuing after military Service. During this section, you will discover possible
career options and conduct research to complete the associated column in the Gap Analysis.
Research will include the same topics as before—experience and skills, education and training,and credentials.

Identify Possible Civilian Careers
As you transition into the civilian sector, you may know exactly what career field you want toenter, or you may know exactly which ones you do not want. You are not alone if you are
uncertain about your next career. It is common for transitioning Service members to want tochange from their occupation in the military to something completely different.
Whether you know the path you want to take or are uncertain, completing a self-assessment
can provide an understanding of your preferred job-related activities. A self-assessment can be
as formal as taking a personality or interest inventory or as informal as talking to friends andfamily about your work and life experiences and what you like doing. Information from personalassessments can be invaluable in guiding decisions about your future career. They can help you
gain insights into what motivates you in the workplace and help you identify new opportunities
that are likely to be aligned with your interests while also providing you with a sense offulfillment. Even if you already know what career you want to pursue, personal assessments
can offer you a deeper understanding of how to best position yourself for success.

Self-Assessment Based on Interests
Most people would agree that having enjoyable work tasks leads to more job satisfaction andless stress. Research has shown that certain personality types are drawn to certain career fields
based on the types of tasks required to perform the job. Knowing the tasks you are attracted tocan be helpful in identifying a potentially rewarding career path.
While career assessment tools are the culmination of decades of research, practice, and career
theory development, they are NOT intended to identify the “perfect” career or position for you.
However, a self-assessment will help you discover what is important to you, focus your job
search, and help you to better evaluate your options. If you require additional support indetermining your post-military career path after finishing this workshop, you are encouraged toattend the Department of Labor Career and Credential Exploration (C2E) workshop, which
includes additional career assessment resources.

The Holland Codes, commonly known as the RIASEC Model, is one theory of career choicecreated by vocational psychologist John L. Holland. This model classifies six interest categories
by associating them with work tasks and then aligns these work tasks with occupations. The six
distinct interest categories are represented by the letters R, I, A, S, E, and C.

The O*NET Interest Profiler, which is based on the RIASEC model, is designed to match
occupations to your personal interests.
