Placement Goals and Timetables Orange County is committed to the ideal of achieving representation of minorities and women in the workplace at least proportional to the recruitment area labor force. To this end, the County: - Seeks to maintain current levels of representation of minorities and women in EEO categories where no underutilization currently exists and - Establishes goals and timetables for each EEO category in which underutilization of minorities and/or women is indicated by the utilization analysis. Using the Orange County work force and recruitment area labor force data, Personnel calculated projected goals to provide utilization of minorities and women equivalent to the indicated recruitment area labor force availability. These goals were then reviewed with involved departments heads to assess anticipated hiring opportunities based on past termination experience. Chart 4 shows the final projected goals and timetables for the four EEO categories in which underutilization was identified. X.
