DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS:
The Planning Aide is the entry level trainee class in the professional Planner Series. Incumbents are not expected to have had any prior related work experience, but are expected to have acquired planning-related education. Assignments are generally limited in scope and set within procedural frameworks established by higher-level positions. Incumbents in this class serve in learning capacity in preparation for future upward mobility within the higher level professional Planner classifications. This class is distinguished from the Assistant Planner by the complexity of work and increased independence of action required at the higher level; and by the significantly higher emphasis on front counter support performed at the lower Planning Aide level.
