- Develop and maintain written Upward Mobility policy, plan, procedures, and program participation selection criteria.
- Implement an effective Upward Mobility Program for employees in entry-level positions. (Departments should continue to use the Upward Mobility Pay Scale Report in completing their workforce analysis.)

Introduction
All state agencies are required, per Government Code section 19400, to establish and maintain an effective Upward Mobility Program for state employees in entry-level positions. Upward Mobility is a planned development and advancement of employees in entry-level positions to higher-level technical, professional, and administrative positions. Upward Mobility is not, as commonly thought, the promotion of employees through the ranks, to supervisory and managerial provisions within the same occupations.
Statement
Each state agency is responsible for implementing and establishing an effective Upward Mobility Program as outlined in the Guidelines for Administering Departmental Upward Mobility Programs. The appointing power of each agency shall develop an Upward Mobility policy statement regarding the agency’s commitment to provide upward mobility opportunities for employees in entry-level positions; develop an Upward Mobility plan, program procedures, and program participation selection criteria; and advertise how employees can access information and participate in Upward Mobility Program services.
In addition, each agency shall appoint an Upward Mobility Coordinator whose primary role is to administer the Upward Mobility Program, assist employees with Upward Mobility plan development, establish departmental Upward Mobility goals, and assist the EEO Officer with coordinating, monitoring, and annually reporting to CalHR on the department’s Upward Mobility Program efforts through the Workforce Analysis.
