Employees participating in the WEP and training for a position that is not currently vacant will not be eligible for out-of-class pay.- Employees may volunteer for training opportunities via the WEP. The District also may assign employees to work experience opportunities where critical needs exist.

- If multiple employees wish to have work experience in the same job classification, and if it is not feasible to train multiple employees, the employee who meets the minimum qualifications for the position shall be selected to receive the first training opportunity that becomes available.
