25 NCAC 01D .0208. TRAINEE APPOINTMENTS

Trainee appointments, against classified positions and with an accelerated salary progression, are provided to complement the employment and training process by providing an opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills on the job which may not be available in the labor market or which cannot be learned in a short period.  The duration of the trainee appointment is approximately the amount of time required as experience necessary to meet the minimum qualifications of the position.  The salary progression rates are spread over the training period and provide competitive salary rates for trainees and for experienced, qualified employees.  The recruitment standards and salary progression together provide a uniform guide for equitable employment and compensation of trainees.
