Career Mapping with new Public Servant Initiative Graduates

Career Mapping

Maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace requires building career development pathways at every level. The City offers two professional development programs that support employee growth and retention: the New Public Servant Initiative (NPSI) and Certified Public Manager (CPM) course. Participants in both programs are drawn from all City departments and reflect the diversity of the City’s talented workforce. These programs allow employees to develop valuable skills to be more effective in their current roles as well as prepare for future City opportunities.

Group gather for a locally partnered event

Diversity Outreach

To enhance its recruitment efforts, the City is partnering with local organizations and educational institutions to reach a broader pool of diverse talent and the next generation. Networking mixers such as “Evening with Engineers” and “Legally Speaking” provide college students with the opportunity to learn more about City careers and internships. The Office of Diversity & Inclusion also hosts a “Leader In You” event for high school girls. The event showcases positions where women are traditionally underrepresented, such as engineers, firefighters, police officers, and construction managers.

 

 

 

training offered online for employees

Training

The Office of Diversity & Inclusion currently offers three recurring training courses. Anti-Harassment Training is a required course for all City employees. The course provides an overview of the City’s Harassment and Discrimination Policy and expectation for professional conduct. Workplace Inclusion is a training course for supervisors. It explores the role of self-awareness and management in helping to address unconscious and conscious biases. Diversity Awareness Training is designed for non-supervisors. The course gives practical strategies for ways every employee can help create a supportive and welcoming work culture. 

Community event with FAMU marching band

Community Events

The Office of Diversity & Inclusion develops ongoing community events to celebrate diversity and promote equity and inclusion. In 2020, the City hosted its most recent Race Relations Summit, which brought together local leaders, renowned experts and residents in a virtual setting. Participants engaged in community dialogue on topics such as racial health disparities, educational equality and how to build bridges to social justice. These City-sponsored events provide opportunities  for the community to learn, grow and collectively build a better Tallahassee, together.
