Starting October 22, 2007, Boeing employees represented by International Association of Machinists (IAM) Dist. 751, 70, and 24 will be able to take a more active role in planning their career in IAM-represented jobs at Puget Sound , Wichita , and Portland locations. In addition, any employee who is interested in IAM-represented jobs at these locations can use the IAM/Boeing Joint Programs Career Explorer web site to learn more about job requirements and training.

The hourly Category "C" Employee Requested Transfer (ERT) process has been enhanced with a new tool called the "Employee ERT Screen". The new screen is personalized to provide an individualized report for any employee wishing to apply for hourly IAM-represented jobs currently in the Category "C" ERT Process within the three above locations.

The new Employee ERT Screen will allow employees to:
  - View their completed ERT Course Requirements
  - Track their progress toward meeting a specific job's ERT Minimum Requirements
  - File or delete Location Changes for their current job
  - Upon completion of minimum training requirements, file, edit, or delete an ERT for a new job.

Previously, this information was only available by meeting with an IAM/Boeing Joint Programs QTTP Career Advisor.

RESOURCES:

  - Access the Employee ERT Screen through the Career Explorer website at http://careerexplorer.web.boeing.com.
   - QTTP Career Advisors are available to help employees navigate through the ERT process. Check the website to see the services accessible through Advisors.
