Responsibilities

Currently, CBP offices are leveraging DHS resources which has allowed CBP to implement a Joint Duty Assignment program immediately, avoided creating duplicative CBP-specific directives, and minimized required CBP funding and program management FTEs. The CBP JDAP Coordinator will be tasked to develop, manage, and coordinate the nascent program in addition to acting as a DHS Liaison. The tasks would include, but limited to, acting as advocate for the program across CBP program offices, offering assistance to offices in posting JDA opportunities, tracking participants and creating a program plan to further develop them into future CBP senior leaders, creating a leadership development and training plan (in collaboration with CBP Office of Training and Development), and making regular presentations and recommendations to CBP Deputies Leadership Council on the current status and future of the Joint Duty Assignment Program.
