Merit Appeals Board <br />I'm happy to answer any questions. <br />June 25, 2024 <br />CHR. CABANAS: You may have mentioned it, but the career path program the training <br />program, is this linked into the continuous recruitment positions? In other words, should it be <br />matching the positions that are listed here? <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: The career path positions? <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yeah. <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yeah. So, the career path is basicallyso, the 10 positions that we have are <br />Professional Development Trainee. But what we wanted to create was—we wanted to look at <br />positions that—I'll use Accountant, as an example. <br />So, we wanted to look at, if someone had a two-year degree, we wanted to create a path so that <br />they can't go necessarily straight from Professional Development Trainee to Accountant. It <br />would be Professional Development Trainee for this probably two-year period, so that then they <br />could qualify for a position requiring a 4 -year degree. We have had a lot of Accountant positions <br />that we've actually had to reallocate down to Professional Trainee to allow people to gain the <br />experience to then meet the requirements for Accountant. <br />So, in the case of Accountant, the career paths shows that it would be Professional Development <br />Trainee for a period of time. And then, the goal at the end of that would be to qualify for <br />Professional Trainee and then could, eventually, qualify for Accountant. <br />And so, maybe, what I should do at the next meeting, the Board had a lot on this agenda for <br />today and the next meeting I realize will be busy as well. But I'd be happy to provide the Board <br />with the list of career path positions—and so, that you could see kind of the trajectory that we <br />developed for each of those, so that you can see that it progresses forward. <br />MS. BOND: Do these people automatically have an in to get hired afterwards? <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: No. So, it's there's no automatic ins to get hired in the County, but the <br />positions that we created were created as civil service positions. So, employees that are <br />Professional Development Trainees will be able to apply for open positions in the County as an <br />internal applicant. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay, soI'm a little confused. So, is this going to be for the existing civil <br />service employees first? <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yes. They have the option. Anyone could apply for Professional <br />Development Trainee positions. <br />CHR. CABANAS: No, that's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is, are the—are you going <br />to do an internal recruitment for your employees first? Not open to the public. In other words, <br />Page 9 <br />
