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. This section of the toolkit is designed to provide you with strategic and thoughtful information along with 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. 

Start by understanding Our Challenge and Opportunity around civil service. 

Next, review Know Your Civil Service, Gathering the Facts and Forging Partnerships to make sure you have the right foundational information and outside relationships needed to be successful.
