CEA Examinations
Career Executive Assignment (CEA) category encompasses a broad range of high administrative and policy-influencing positions in a variety of organizational settings. Positions in this category are responsible for managing a major program and/or providing program policy advice to the highest levels of administrative authority. They have significant responsibility for policy evolvement and implementation and are found only in the highest managerial and administrative levels in State Government.
Within the broad category, there are five levels of management responsibility. All positions having a substantially similar level of responsibility are assigned to the same levels.

eligible list. CEA eligible lists are posted for 60 days following completion of the examination.
