This class is designed to facilitate career movement for classified State of Michigan employees who possess considerable administrative or office support experience and wish to make a change to a new technical career. Employees in this class retain their former employment preference level and rate of pay, if possible, while learning the knowledge, skills, and techniques of the new technician field. Appointments to this class will be limited to current classified state employees with status and must be in compliance with the established selection procedures. Employees in this class participate in a variety of non-supervisory technical activities. Work is performed through the application of a body of knowledge related to established practices, procedures, methods, and policies, or theory and concepts of a particular technical field.
Work is performed under close supervision and assignments are reviewed in progress.
Well-defined methods and procedures in the form of laws, regulations, rules, policies, etc. are provided, and employees must exercise judgment in applying the proper courses of action. This is a single-level class.
