It has been more than 30 years since the Academy of Certified Archivists (ACA) has conducted a job analysis. The profession has evolved in regards to skills, knowledge, practices, and standards. The ACA desires to use an updated job analysis to revise certification standards and requirements to ensure alignment of professional needs and expectations. ACA is now looking to update our job analysis and our knowledge statements, and requests proposals and pricing from psychometric firms to conduct a job analysis for the ACA.
A job analysis is a systematic process for collecting information regarding a job role in terms of the job functions (e.g., responsibilities/duties) and tasks performed on a job, as well as the knowledge and/or skills (e.g., competencies) required to perform those tasks. The results of the job analysis describe the breadth and depth of knowledge and skills that must be covered by the certification examination for it to be deemed valid, reliable, and legally defensible.
The ACA seeks to execute a contract with the most responsible and responsive vendor whose bid proposal, conforming to this RFP, is most advantageous to ACA, price and all other factors considered.
Full RFP can be found here. Deadline to submit is March 30, 2023.
