SUBJECT: | Staff Affirmative Action Training Program Committee, 1995/96, Call for Individual Proposals |
One of UCSD's affirmative action objectives is to increase the diversity
in career positions (Staff, A&PS and MAP) where there is insufficient
representation of people of color and women. The implementation of the
Staff Affirmative Action Training Program is one method by which this
objective may be achieved.
I am pleased to announce the call for individual proposals for the
1995/96 fiscal year. Approximately $14,000 is expected to be
available for individual proposals, with a $500.00 maximum award for
each individual.
The program provides funds for training opportunities for people of
color and women who are career employees who have completed their
probationary period, and seeking advancement to higher level positions
that are underutilized. By matching an applicant's ethnicity or
gender to an upgraded position that is underutilized in that same
ethnic or gender category, the program creates a direct "pipeline" to
remedy areas of specific underutilization.
Requirements, selection criteria and an application form are attached.
Eligible applicants should submit the application form to the Staff
Affirmative Action Office, 0923, no later than March 31, 1995. The
Committee will review proposals and make recommendations by June 15,
1995.
Further questions may be directed to the Staff Affirmative Action
Office, Extension 45717.

Requirements for education or training activities:
1. Individual applicants must be members of underutilized groups.

through June 30, 1996. Activities that begin before July 1, 1995
will not be considered.
3. The deadline for submission of applications is March 31, 1995.
4. Only requests for tuition/registration fees and books/materials

6. An evaluation form and receipts for approved costs must be
submitted upon completion of the awarded activity in order to
receive reimbursement.
7. Applicants must complete their probationary periods.
8. Applicants' most recent performance evaluation must be "Met

Selection Criteria:
1. Does the applicant aspire to a job category in which there is
present underutilization?
2. Does the proposal relate directly to the aspired position?
3. Is the proposal part of an attainable career plan for promotion or
career change?
4. Have Staff Affirmative Action Training Funds been allocated
previously to the applicant? If so, the evaluation submitted in
accordance with Requirement #6 above will be used in the
consideration of this proposal.
Note: In general, the Committee expects departments to pay for
training designed primarily to meet a departmental need rather than
an individual's goal. In addition, applicants are encouraged to
seek other sources of funding (i.e., personal funds, departmental
reimbursement).
Suggestions on Determining a Career Advancement Plan:
~ Check Job Bulletin for samples of job descriptions. If any
positions interest you, compare your skills and needs for training
to obtain that position.
~ Seek advice from your supervisor. Your supervisor can assist you
in examining your strengths and skill needs.
~ Talk with people who are working in the classification you are
interested in moving into. This will give you a better idea of what
skills the position requires and will help you determine your
training needs.
~ Call the following individuals for specific information regarding
job interests that you may have at UCSD:
1. Pat Wong, X42820 - Human Resources
2. Paula Doss, X40282 - Human Resources
3. Ann Skinner, X36434 - Med Ctr Human Resources
