The task force solicited input through open forums and staff organizations. All of the information, suggestions, comments, and recommendations were placed on this web site for further review. Changes to the content of the CAL PACT training model were discussed and made. Upon the completion of the campus outreach, the CAL PACT course material was developed for the pilot group. The second phase of outreach to campus on the CAL PACT proposal has been presented to specific campus organizations.
Notes are available for the proceedings of each meeting.
Computers have become an increasingly necessary tool for staff to perform their work. Efforts across campus to streamline operations and increase efficiency with reduced levels of staff have led to substantial increases in computer use. Computers are now available to the majority of staff, and with the diversity of systems, software, and computer training available, it has become clear that not all staff are equipped to work and communicate effectively using the tools at their disposal. Employees and staff organizations organized a grassroots effort to address both the increasing disparity of staff computer skills across departments and the need for additional training. The goal of this partnership is to raise the computer skills levels of campus staff to a defined minimum standard through the establishment of a campuswide task force.
