Education/Professional Development:
Education at universities and colleges generates a pool of workforce candidates with foundational knowledge, while professional development prepares newly hired staff with the knowledge and skills to do the job and seasoned staff with ongoing skill development and potential for advancement. Determining the educational preparation most relevant for a position also leads to opportunities for partnership with institutions of higher learning. Schools that seek racial equity in educational outcomes for students also contribute to a diverse workforce by successfully recruiting, supporting, preparing, and graduating a diverse student body. Resources in this category include coaching, mentoring, training, and supporting university-agency partnerships.
