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). The implementation
of the Staff Affirmative Action Training Program is one method by which
this objective may be achieved. This year, the Staff Affirmative Action
Training Program Committee is targeting the following job objectives:

Program Representative III    Programmer Analyst II
Programmer Analyst III     Staff Research Associate I

Senior Electronic Technician    Development Technician IV

Employees who aspire to be in any of the job objectives listed above, and
who meet the criteria are encouraged to apply. All applicants will be
considered without regard to gender or ethnicity. 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,

  objectives.

  through June 30, 1997. Activities that begin before July 1, 1996
  will not be considered.

3.  The deadline for submission of applications is May 20, 1996.

  receipts for approved costs must be submitted upon completion of the
  awarded activity in order to receive reimbursement.

7.  Applicants must have completed their probationary period.

8.  Applicants' most recent performance evaluation must be "Met Expectations"
  or above.

Selection Criteria:

1.  Does the applicant aspire to be in one of the targeted job objectives?

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 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:

1.  Pat Wong, X42820 - Human Resources

2.  Professional Recruitment and Community Outreach, X40282
