Description of Occupational Work

This class series identifies six levels of work in the Administration Occupational Group, Training/Education class series and describes professional training/education work that integrates training, education, organizational development, quality improvement, and consultation to improve individual, group and organizational effectiveness. 

Note:  The career ladder incorporates Trainer/Educator levels I, II and III; therefore, all positions allocated into the Trainer/Educator career ladder are classified at the III level (highest level in the career ladder).  The Trainer/Educator I level is to provide entry for hiring new employees into the class series but does not preclude hiring new employees at higher levels.  To implement the career ladder, current employees are assigned to the level for which they meet minimum qualifications and promotional standards.  Employees may be promoted through the career ladder in accordance with promotional standards for those levels assigned to an agency.  The promotional standards, a selection document under separate cover, set forth the criteria that identify, measure, and verify successful performance at each level.  Advancement of employees through the career ladder is dependent on the type of training provided based on the agency's training needs. Therefore, all employees may not have the opportunity to advance to the III level.
