What is the primary goal of JDTA?

The primary goal of Job Duty Task Analysis (JDTA) is to establish a repeatable job analysis process that accurately identifies the necessary duties and tasks required for a specific job or position within the Navy. This systematic approach ensures that relevant skills, knowledge, and abilities are clearly defined and can be consistently used to inform training and performance standards. By focusing on a repeatable job analysis, JDTA contributes to the overall development of effective training programs and ensures that training content is aligned with current job requirements.

This structured methodology allows for ongoing assessments and adjustments to be made in response to evolving job roles or technological changes, thereby ensuring that training remains relevant and effective. It serves as a foundational step in the training development process, essential for ensuring that personnel are adequately prepared to perform their duties in support of fleet readiness and operational success.
