SUBJECT:

Funds Available for Staff Training and Career Development

In support of our mission and values, UC San Diego recognizes the importance of providing and financially supporting staff education, training and professional development opportunities. Continuous learning enhances our capacity to perform and builds our sense of community. It enables all of us to acquire skills to keep pace with fast-changing demands that emerge from campus growth, advancing technology, and the challenges we take on pursuing career growth within the University.

The Staff Equal Opportunity Enrichment Program (SEOEP) provides training and career development funds for individuals and departments. On the individual level, the program provides up to $500.00 for training activities to eligible staff employees seeking a promotion or career change. Similarly, the program provides financial assistance to support vice chancellor/department training and development programs that will enhance the skills of employees to prepare them for career advancement.

The application period for the 2017-18 Staff Equal Opportunity Enrichment Program is now open.

Individual and vice chancellor/department proposals for SEOEP funds must be received by Monday, April 24, 2017.

We encourage you to take advantage of these valuable resources, because we believe that the diversity we seek to sustain and improve at UC San Diego requires that we make a conscious effort to access available learning opportunities.
