SUBJECT:

1996-97 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.
