12. Discus ion of the Committee Report on the proposed ORD
Upward Mobility Program.
a. summarized the Upward Mobility Report
from his Committee for the Panel. (See Copy Attached)
b. Specifics discussed were: the span of secretarial
grades; upgrading as not a solution to the problem; the
advantages of the Agency sponsoring training which is not
job-related; the need to identify Upward Mobility slots
with time limits; the need to define the path of conversion
from secretarial to professional status and the training
need to accomplish this; and the tie-in of the Upward
Mobility Program beyond the Division and Office levels.
The members also reviewed the Position Management and
Compensation Division procedures on setting up the
Office structure with fixed positions and the fact that
PMCD dictates the grades of the secretaries in accordance
with the grades of the supervisors and their reporting
levels.
c. Steps that should be considered were: decide on
the number of people that should be in the Upward Mobility
Program; define the work they will be doing; define the
training they will need and the on-the-job training they will
get; define the time span on moving up from GS-07 to GS-10;
define qualifications for competing in the Program; define
experience to be gained to compete at the GS-11 level;
define ultimately what the person's capabilities should be;
develop an orderly progression on introducing the Program;
identify activities in ORD Divisions that might be suitable

for this program -- not only the job but the grade level
that an employee could work toward; and have an Upward
Mobility Program underway by Fall 1975.
d. The Chairman made the following assignments:
(1) Division Chiefs are to identify functions or
activities that might be "stepping stones" in an
Upward Mobility Program; identify the training and job
experience obtained from Upward Mobility assignments
that would enable an employee to enter into a new
competitive career situation; establish a time
schedule that would be involved for this progression;
consider the training to be taken (this will be a
"pacing" item) as an employee progresses from one grade
level to another; and-submit this information to
