Workforce Development

Staff Development

The Administrative Division promotes continuing education for public health staff, consults with subject matter experts to increase staff knowledge and promotes information and communication processes between all levels of public health staff.

Workforce Development Plan

Training and development of the workforce is one part of a comprehensive strategy toward agency quality improvement.  Fundamentals to this work is identifying gaps in knowledge, skills and abilities through the assessment of both organizational and individual needs, and addressing those gaps through targeted training and development opportunities.

The Workforce Development Plan is intended to contribute to the growth of an organizational culture of learning, quality and performance improvement, and provide career ladder opportunities for staff members.  The plan is consistent with the Mahoning County Public Health Strategic Plan goal to improve workforce development for staff.

Monthly Newsletter

The Community Health Division creates a monthly staff newsletter.  This newsletter is sent electronically to all agency staff highlighting program and staff accomplishments, future training opportunities and "Parking Lot" quality improvement ideas.
