A goal is a dream with a plan. Do you dream big, set goals, and take action? Are you motivated to move up within the DMV? If so, your opportunity is now!
Upward mobility offers the potential for increased responsibility and pay beyond the position you are currently in. If this resonates with you, the Talent Enrichment and Outreach Team is excited to announce the application period for the DMV Upward Mobility Program (UMP) which begins October 3, 2022!
What is Upward Mobility?
According to the California Code of Regulations, Title 2, Section 599.981,
“Upward Mobility” means the development and advancement of team members from positions in low-paying occupations (LPO) to entry technical, professional, and administrative (TPA) positions in California state civil service. There is no guarantee of team member promotion; however, all interested team members in designated LPOs are given equal consideration to participate in the UMP efforts based on the criteria set forth in the policy.
For a list of DMV’s qualifying classifications, please review pages 3-5 under “LPOs UTILIZED AT DMV” in the DMV’s Upward Mobility and Career Development Handbook (ADM 8014).
Upward Mobility Options
Team members in California state civil service have a number of mobility options available to assist them with achieving a satisfying state career. The Upward Mobility Coordinator (UMC) will help identify options available within the DMV, such as:
- Application Reviews
- Apprenticeship Programs
- Career and Academic Counseling
- In-Service Training
- Leadership Programs
- Mock Interviews
- On-the-Job Training
- Out-Service Training
- Resume Assistance
