SUBJECT:

Employment Programs for Persons with Disabilities

The UCSD Department of Human Resources conducts a wide variety of
recruitment and retention activities which support the employment
of persons with disabilities. Included in the programs designed
to ensure UCSD's commitment to Affirmative Action and Equal
Employment Opportunity are presentations to community agencies
affiliated with persons with disabilities which cover UCSD
employment opportunities, participation in job fairs which target
persons with disabilities, coordination of applicant referrals
from the California State Department of Rehabilitation Career
Opportunities Development Program, and a variety of educational
workshops and job accommodation services offered through both the
Campus and Medical Center Employee Rehabilitation programs.

One of these programs which we wish to bring to your attention is
the Special Selection/Reemployment process. The Special Selection/Reemployment process supports the
University's policy to retain current career employees and
reemploy former career employees with disabling medical
conditions. Under this employment program, current employees
with disabilities and former employees who have been separated
for medical reasons are given the opportunity to be productive
through placement in an appropriate, vacant position for which
they are qualified.

Special Selection/Reemployment candidates who are determined to
be qualified by the Department of Human Resources for referral to
hiring supervisors with vacant career positions, will be
considered along with employees on layoff exercising preferential
rehire rights prior to all other applicants.

Questions regarding the Special Selection/Reemployment process on
the Campus may be directed to Pat Wong, Manager of Employment and
Staffing Services, x42820 and at the Medical Center to Ann Rossi,
Manager of Human Resources, x36433.
