What is a TDY and how do I apply?
Temporary duty assignments are created as a result of temporary vacancies or short term business needs and are typically no longer than one year. The need for additional personnel may be the result of an emergency, special project or prolonged absence of a current employee. TDYs may be open to national, international, and US-based employees. TDYs are temporary assignments that require you to cease your current duties and to assume a new role for a specified period of time. To be considered for a TDY assignment, you must have been performing satisfactorily in your current position and meet the qualifications for the TDY.
Although the creation of a TDY is often business driven, it is also a development opportunity for a CARE employee. Assignments should be defined carefully and orientation and coaching should be provided to the incumbent to maximize the learning experience.
