Which occupational series are considered “professional” and “technical and administrative support” work categories?
The Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 652 defines the occupational structure and work categories for the Intelligence Community (IC). The work categories describe broad sets of related occupational groups characterized by common types of work. In applying these criteria, IC components will base their decisions on the work category most applicable to the predominant type of work performed or assigned (e.g., primary purpose of the work, required qualifications), except as otherwise provided by the ICD 652. When you take and complete DCIPS 101, you will have the opportunity to see what work category your position maps to under DCIPS by using the Conversion Calculator referenced above.
