Information Management Apprentice
Perhaps the most valuable resource any leader or manager has, other than people, is information. The mission of information management (IM) is to propose, develop and implement policy to manage information in any form throughout its life cycle in support of the Air Force mission. Unlike any other career field, you can be assigned to any organization and work in any type of environment - maintenance, operations, intelligence, personnel, weather - there is no limit. Information management is made up of several major functions. Publications is responsible for creating, controlling and distributing official publications (regulations, manuals and forms) and providing libraries of official publications. Records is responsible for managing, controlling and disposing of official records and managing the Privacy Act and Freedom of Information Act. Administrative communications is responsible for moving all mail (paper or electronic); administrative orders; document security; locator service; and creating clear, efficient and effective communications. All areas of information management have been affected by the computer revolution. As an IM apprentice, you may be using a management system or a desktop personal computer to include computer graphics. You could also be responsible for working with computer specialists in programming automated systems for the IM community. You could specialize in one of the above areas in a base IM function, or you may work in a staff support function in a general office environment where you will be responsible for implementing programs in each functional area.
