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.

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
