SUBJECT: Staff Affirmative Action Training Program, 1996/97,
Call for Individual Proposals
I am pleased to announce the call for individual proposals for the 1996/97 fiscal year. This program provides funds for training opportunities for career employees who have completed their probationary period, and seek advancement to higher level positions. Approximately $14,000.00 is expected to be available for individual proposals, with a $500.00 maximum award for each individual. One of UCSD's objectives is to increase the diversity in career positions (Staff, A&PS and MAP).

This year, the Staff Affirmative Action Training Program Committee is targeting the following job objectives:
Job Objectives
MAP Manager Associate Development Engineer Senior Development Engineer Administrative Analyst
Program Representative III Programmer Analyst II Programmer Analyst III Staff Research Associate I Staff Research Associate II Senior Clerk
___Assistant I ___Assistant III

Requirements, selection criteria, and an application form are attached. Eligible applicants should submit a completed application form and 12 copies to the Office of Equal Opportunity/Staff Affirmative Action, Mail Code 0923, no later than Monday, May 20, 1996.

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 career planning:
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:
