SUBJECT:    1997-98 Staff Affirmative Action Training Program, Call For Vice Chancellor Unit and Departmental Proposals

I am pleased to announce the call for Vice Chancellor unit and departmental
proposals for the 1997-98 fiscal year. In fiscal year 1996-97, eight projects
were funded with the total allocation of $82,700. One of UCSD's objectives is
to increase diversity in career positions. Implementation of the Staff
Affirmative Action Training Program is one method by which this objective may be
achieved.

Vice Chancellor units, departments, or departments in collaboration with other
departments are invited to submit proposals for funds to support departmental
training and development programs which will enhance the job skills of
employees. The proposed activity must benefit at least three individuals. The
program may be utilized to:

I. Provide on-the-job training by placing participants in temporary
positions (i.e., casual or internship) or by creating temporary positions
for the participants; or

II. Enhance the skills of participants to prepare them for career
advancement.

The following is an example of a previously funded training program:

Funding allowed three individuals to participate in an on-the-job training
program, in departments outside their own, to help them become more competitive
in management level positions upon completion of the program. The funds
enabled the individuals' departments to temporarily replace the participants
with 50% casual employees during the three to four-month training period.
After completion of the program, two of the individuals were promoted.

Requirements, selection criteria, and the application form are attached. Vice
Chancellor units and departments must submit the application form to Human
Resources - Equal Opportunity/Staff Affirmative Action, Mail Code 0923, no later
than Monday, May 5, 1997. The Staff Affirmative Action Training Program
Committee will review all proposals and make recommendations by the end of June
1997.

If you have questions, please call Equal Opportunity/Staff Affirmative Action at
extension 45717.
