The year-long program, which begins its next cycle in January, 2015, is available to all career employees who meet the following criteria:
- UCLA career employee for at least one year
- Payroll title of administrative specialist (and equivalent titles) or below
- A rating of satisfactory, or better, on the most current performance evaluation;
- Departmental support for participation
Key program goals include offering professional development opportunities, developing UCLA's internal talent pool of highly-skilled and qualified applicants for current and future job openings, and supporting the university's diversity efforts.
The major developmental components of the program include individualized career assessment, skills training, and contribution to special projects. Participants are offered an opportunity to network and develop partnering relationships with program alumni who have been successful in their professional endeavors at the University. Educational stipends are also available for skills training.
Departmental support is required in order to provide release time for program participants averaging approximately 10-12 hours per month. During the year, close communication is maintained among participants, their supervisors and program staff to ensure that development activities remain consistent with the needs of their departments.
