Traineeships (grade 13) During the First 6 Months of Service The trainee is expected to perform under constant and direct supervision. The measure of success during this period is how well the trainee grasps instructions, acts correctly on instructions received and, where repetition of activities is involved, functions with increased speed, accuracy and facility on subsequent repetitions. By the Completion of 12 Months of Service (grade 14) The trainee is expected to perform under less constant supervision. Routine and/or less technically complex tasks are completed without direct oversight or significant revision by the supervisor. More complex and difficult tasks will be completed with the supervisor providing concrete suggestions or corrections. During this period, significant errors involving basic issues will not be repeated. By the Completion of 18 Months of Service The trainee is expected to perform more complex and difficult tasks with only general supervision. Extensive revision or modification by the supervisor should not be required. The trainee should recognize problems or issues, which require the supervisor's attention and direction. At this point in the traineeship, it should be assumed that if the quality of the trainee's performance continues at this level, the trainee will be able to function at the full performance level and will probably advance to G-18. By the Completion of 24 Months of Service (grade 18) The trainee must be able to perform non-routine assignments under only general direction. During this interval, assignments encompass major work activity areas identified in the IDP but not previously addressed.
