Training and Development Information

T&D assignments are temporary assignments of up to 24 months for training purposes.  DSH encourages the use of T&D assignments to provide employees the opportunity to obtain any or a combination of the following:

  1. Provide the experience necessary to satisfy the experience component of the minimum qualifications of the T&D classification or gain competencies for the preferred or desirable qualifications of the T&D classification;
  2. Provide employees broader experience and skills that will improve their ability to perform in their current position;
  3. Help prepare employees for future promotions; or
  4. Facilitate an employee’s entry into a new occupational field.

An employee must have permanent status in the present classification. An employee currently in a Limited Term position is not eligible for a T&D assignment. The employee may, but is not required to, satisfy the minimum qualifications of the T&D classification; except, the employee shall possess any licensure, certificate, or similar credential that is a component of the minimum qualifications.
