Why does IPMA-HR offer both Agency and Candidate Reading Lists?
Previously, IPMA-HR only distributed reading lists that were intended for use by the agency. However, some agencies distributed these lists to their candidates and, in turn, the candidates contacted IPMA-HR. As stated in the TSA, candidates may NOT contact IPMA-HR directly. To resolve this issue, IPMA-HR has created 2 reading lists. The Agency Reading List should be used by authorized personel for review purposes, while the Candidate Reading List should be disseminated to candidates. At no time, should candidates be encouraged to contact IPMA-HR directly.
