June 9, 2006 -- CDOP Application Period Closed
As we explained in our May
26 message, the UC-wide funding that has supported the
Career Development Opportunity Program (CDOP) for the past three years
is ending, effective June 30. In that message, staff were invited
to continue submitting applications to the program, to be reviewed
on a first come, first served basis until the current funding pool
was expended.
Because so many of you have demonstrated your desire for career development
by submitting applications to CDOP, the available funding has been
exhausted even sooner than the June 30 deadline that was announced
in the earlier message.
Therefore, the program is unable to accept or approve any new applications,
effective immediately. If you have submitted an application to the
CDOP office but you have not received a message indicating CDOP approval,
your application unfortunately cannot be approved.
Although the campus is pursuing new options for funding for staff
development, at this date we cannot be certain what such future programs
will be. The loss of the CDOP program is disappointing for the many
employees and supervisors who have benefited from this opportunity,
and we want to emphasize again that the campus leadership and Human Resources are committed to the goal of staff development.
