To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform the essential job functions satisfactorily. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the primary job functions herein described.

JOB SUMMARY
Performs professional level trainee or higher-level work and development described under an Appointing Authority’s approved training plan in an area of assignment and line of work lower than an existing classification that has no lower level approved career ladder. An incumbent in this classification will be assigned lower level duties consistent with the approved higher level position classification in a training and developmental capacity. The duties and responsibilities may involve leadership, staff work or line operations. The incumbent is regularly evaluated under the position’s formal training plan based on results of performance including, but not limited to, formal training, on-the-job-training, job knowledge acquired, skills demonstrated plus day-to-day performance. Work is performed under the general supervision of a senior or executive manager, but considerable independent judgment is exercised by the incumbent. Persons may be appointed to these positions by the Appointing Authority with the concurrence of the Director of Human Resources and without the requirement to establish and hire from an eligible register. However, each position must have a job description and a position specific training plan approved by the Appointing Authority and the Director of Human Resources. The appointee will be considered a part of the permanent exempt service. Benefits are the same as provided for permanent employees. The candidate will be informed of the terms and conditions of training and requirements for retention and advancement. The training period is normally for a one or two year period. Any need to extend the appointment beyond an approved training period must be re-approved by the Appointing Authority with the concurrence of the Director of Human Resources. A trainee position is administratively classified two or more grades lower than an already approved classification; however, Pay Grade 150 is assigned during the training period. The candidate’s pay rate is determined by the Appointing Authority with the concurrence of the Director of Human Resources.
