Civil Service Career Pathways 

Understaffing our state, county, and municipal agencies is overburdening our civil service workforce and threatening the quality of services to the public. Facilitating Access to Civil Service is a comprehensive toolkit designed to provide you with information, research strategies and potential solutions that will support you and your members’ efforts to streamline the hiring process without risking the fundamental elements and integrity of your civil service system. 

Below is a preview of the areas covered in the toolkit. Start by understanding Our Challenge and Opportunity around civil service. Next, review Know Your Civil Service System, Gathering Facts and Forging Partnerships to make sure you have the right foundational information and outside relationships needed to be successful. When you are ready, move to the Recruitment & Hiring Strategies, Civil Service Exam Strategies , and Development & Advancement Strategies materials to see a menu of strategic approaches and pick the one(s) that make the most sense for your needs. Use Resources to quickly access any referenced tools.
