OFFICE OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/
STAFF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
September 11, 1996
ALL AT UCSD
SUBJECT: Promotion Project
The Office of Equal Opportunity/Staff Affirmative Action is pleased to announce that the Promotion Project has been funded for Fiscal Year 1996-97. This is an employee development program that promotes diversity at UCSD. Since the inception of this program, 37 employees have been promoted with the funding awarded by the Staff Affirmative Action Training Program Committee. All who wish to be considered for participation in this program including those who applied in Fiscal Year 1995-96, must submit a current application and survey. Applicants who meet the criteria will be considered without regard to gender or ethnicity.
Applicants for the Promotion Project will be evaluated by Staffing Specialists based on their current classification and skill level in relation to the desired position(s). You will be notified if your application is accepted into the program's pool. Typically, the way the program operates is that when a department has an opening in the objective classification, program participants are considered for referral to the hiring department based on career interests and objectives and the feasibility of developing a suitable training plan.
Each year, the Promotion Project targets several job classifications. The following classifications will be targeted for this year:
Objective Classification
Administrative Specialist Administrative Analyst Sr. Administrative Analyst Programmer Analyst II
Programmer Analyst III Staff Research Associate III Staff Research Associate IV Development Technician II Development Technician III
Departments are encouraged to consider a Promotion Project participant to fill these positions. Qualified participants from the pool will be matched with the open positions and referred to the participating department. A participant who is selected by the hiring department will be promoted into the new position and will be trained for a period of three to six months. A formal training plan will be designed to maximize the candidate's strengths and to develop their potential.
If you are eligible and interested in this program, please complete the attached survey as well as a resume and UCSD Employment Application (may be obtained from the Human Resources Department at Torrey Pines Center-South, Suite 266). Please return the survey and three (3) copies of a completed UCSD Employment Application and resume to Promotion Project, Mail Code 0923, by FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1996. All materials must be typed. If you need additional information about this program, please call extension 45717. Hard copies of this Notice and the Promotion Project Survey may be obtained from the department contact.
