OADEO provides hands-on user training for two components of Academic Personnel On-Line, a UCSD business system for completing academic personnel processes.   The components are e-Recruitment Plan (an electronic system for processing open recruitment plans) and Recruit (an electronic job application system for academics). 

Training in the use of e-RP and Recruit is now available through on-site sessions conducted specifically for the academic personnel staff in individual departments.  Instruction in recruitment policies and use of academic recruitment forms is also included in these sessions.

One training session per day is available from 10 a.m. to about noon on each date listed below.  Sessions can be shorter or longer, depending on your needs. 

To arrange a training session for your department, please choose one of the dates listed and send an e-mail to nquirk@ucsd.edu to request that date. Be sure to provide the department name, the date you want, an alternate date in case your first choice is unavailable, and a contact name and phone number.  All reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis.  Department names will be added to the "Reserved By" column as reservations are completed.
