The Career Employee Program was developed to recognize and reward career staff at the UT Libraries for their continuing commitment to the libraries and the university.

Eligibility
Permanent, full-time, non-exempt staff who have a minimum of three years of library experience are eligible to participate in the program. Participants must obtain supervisory approval; must complete much of the work outside the employee's normal working hours; and must complete the program within two years.

Selection
The CEP Board makes recommendations to the dean for the selection of participants. Selection is based on the applicant's one-page essay outlining his/her interest in the program and a minimum of two recommendations from library employees, including the employee's current team leader. Each applicant must also submit a completed CEP Request Selection Form signed by the applicant's supervisor or team leader.

A maximum of four participants are chosen every two years. The deadline for applications is March 1 with final decisions occurring no later than May 1. Participants may begin the program in July.

Recognition
The Libraries will recognize and compensate non-exempt staff who complete the formal program with a salary increase of no less than $2000 added to the base salary. Successful completion does not result in a job upgrade.

Congratulations to our 2006 Graduates!
