Xxxxxxxx Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL. 1. Position-related programs are directly related to the work assignments or conditions of the employee’s current position.

Employees in non- career appointments are eligible for position-related programs only when such training is specifically necessary for such employees to perform their respective assignments.

Career-related programs are related to the development of skills, knowledge, and other qualifications that prepare an employee for other positions within LBNL for which an employee (as evaluated by the supervisor, department head, and Human Resources Operations Manager or designee) might be an effective competitor. In career planning and development, the employee takes the lead by self-assessing skills, values, career interests, and choices. After completion of the self-assessment, the employee discusses with the supervisor areas of interest to be developed. The supervisor is encouraged to act as the coach and advisor to the employee, helping to map out agreed-on developmental objectives along with corresponding action plans. All career employees are eligible for career-related programs. Employees in non-career appointments are not eligible for career-related programs.
3. Educational enrichment programs are related to an employee’s personal or career interests outside LBNL that are not related to LBNL’s positions for which an employee might be an effective competitor. For example, a course such as music would be considered an educational enrichment program. Educational enrichment programs are the employee’s responsibility and are not eligible for benefits under this policy.
