WAC 296-05-415   Equal employment opportunity goals and timetables.  (1) An equal employment opportunity plan must include goals and timetables. The first step in deciding whether goals and timetables are necessary is the completion of an analysis of the sponsor's program to determine whether there is an underutilization of minorities and/or women in the occupations represented by the program. This analysis must be:

     (a) Conducted by the sponsor with technical assistance provided by the department;

     (b) In writing; and

     (c) Included in the sponsor's equal employment opportunity plan.

     (2) If the sponsor's analysis demonstrates that minorities and females are underutilized in the program, the program has an enrollment deficiency that must be corrected. Enrollment goals and timetables to correct this deficiency must be established and they must be included in the sponsor's equal employment opportunity plan. (See WAC 296-05-433.)

     (3) If the sponsor's analysis demonstrates that no enrollment deficiencies exist, enrollment goals and timetables are not required. However, where no goals and timetables are established, the equal employment opportunity plan must include a detailed explanation why no goals and timetables have been established.
