All staff positions are evaluated internally and placed into a job group and a level, based impact of the role, scope of responsibilities, knowledge, skills, and competencies, and education and experience to meet the needs of the department. The job groups and levels allow for focus on the general requirements of the job and not the specific characteristics or background of the individual holding the job. This structure provides for grouping of similar positions, consistent definition of core job responsibilities across the College and a foundation for detailed career paths. There are four job groups (as defined below) with various levels defined for each job group.
