STEPS employees help fill needed roles

The University of Kentucky employs more than 16,000 full-time regular staff and faculty. But when positions become open, it sometimes becomes necessary to fill a role immediately. That’s where STEPS temporary employment can help. Diana Pérez La Rotta is an Administrative Support Associate II for the College of Social Work and supports the hiring process within her college. She has posted about 30 positions through STEPS since joining the college a little over a year ago.
