Trainee Entry-Level Requirements

DOE-STD-1077-94

4.0 TRAINEE ENTRY-LEVEL REQUIREMENTS -- Trainees meet the minimum requirements

for entry into the training program.

4.1 Entry level requirements are established for each position and include as applicable the

minimum education, experience, technical, and medical requirements.

Common entry-level education, technical, and experience requirements have been

established by joint agreement among Human Resources, the Chemistry Department,

and the Training Department based on analysis of the position tasks. These

requirements are documented in Chemistry Department Procedure CD123.45,

"Training and Qualification of Chemistry Technicians." The entry-level requirements

address a prospective candidate's level of education in mathematical and physical

science areas and/or experience in chemistry.

A screening exam developed by Human Resources is administered to determine if each

candidate's level of ability in the areas of reading comprehension, numerical

applications, and decision making provide a high level of confidence that the applicant

can successfully complete the Chemistry Technician training program.

Entry-level requirements also include a medical evaluation to determine if the candidate

has the physical capabilities to perform chemistry technician job duties. Medical

records are retained by the Medical Department. Following an evaluation by the

Medical Department a form listing any medical restrictions is sent to the Chemistry

Department. The Chemistry Department Manager then sends a letter verifying that

medical requirements have been met to the training department for inclusion in the

candidates training file.
