Nederlands term

sub-ABD niveau

Nederlands naar Engels Overig Overheid / politiek
ABD = Algemene Bestuursdienst = Senior Civil Service, so could sub-ABD be junior civil service?

This is one of the government's targets 2008-2011 for the sustainability theme 'Duurzame bedrijfsvoering overheid'.

Het aandeel vrouwen in ABD functies wordt verhoogd naar 25% en er zijn 50 allochtone managers op sub-ABD niveau aangesteld

Chris Hopley Sep 9, 2009:
junior Junior sounds more like a 'rijkstrainee'...
L.J.Wessel van Leeuwen Sep 8, 2009:

below grade 15

ABD managers are those in job grades 15-19, so sub-ABD managers are those below grade 15.

-> "Alle managers bij het Rijk (s15-s19) met integrale eindverantwoordelijkheid over mensen en middelen maken deel uit van de Algemene Bestuursdienst (ABD)."

neutral Tina Vonhof (X) : This may be correct Chris, but how is an English-speaking person going to know what that means? I think something like 'lower level' might be easier to understand.

It would have to be made apparent in the wider context of the entire text. Even in Dutch, the meaning of sub-ABD will not be clear to a reader unfamiliar with the broader context.
Something went wrong...
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, Chris. I had to deliver the text before your answer came in and actually glossed it as 'more junior ranks', which covers Tina's comment. Useful to know exactly what it is though!"
