Building Career Pathways for Local Government Staff

About this Webinar

Webinar on career pathways for local government staff, featuring Jen Anderson, Dr. Frank Benest, Sophia Selivanoff, Taylor Buck.

The public sector workforce is changing drastically with new generations of workers discovering the benefits of working for a local government agency. But local governments also have to keep pace with workforce trends like “quiet quitting”, the Great Resignation and the perceived flexibility of the private sector. The success of local agencies depends on being able to recruit, retain, and support the professional development of young and mid-career professionals. Join ILG for this webinar where our panel of experts and practitioners will discuss practical tools for succession planning, training, coaching and mentoring to ensure local governments support their workforce in long-term career development.
