CONTINUOUS POLICY UA Local #13 J.A.T.C.

Continuous recruitment means that your position on the Rank List is not permanent. Your Rank number may change depending on future applicant evaluations. The ranking selection is based on education, interest, attitude and personal traits. We are in full compliance with the Affirmative action and Equal Employment Opportunity practices. This list is what is used to pick the years apprentice appointments. These appointments are chosen in rank order from the top of the blended list. Individuals, who ranked high on the first list, may not be ranked as high on the blended list. Other better-qualified candidates may be identified in the second group, and when the two groups are blended, they are entitled to a ranking based solely on their evaluated qualifications. Your name will remain on this list for a two-year period; from the time of interview. If you choose to, you may re-apply when the application process is open.
