RELATED OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVE: By June <strong>2008</strong>, the Department of Human Resources will assess the methods and<br />
practices of the agency that are used to target, recruit, and retain a diverse workforce. Where necessary, improvements to the<br />
system will be implemented. ES<strong>BOCES</strong> component school districts have also expressed a need for support in recruiting a diverse<br />
teacher workforce that is reflective of the region’s student population, as well as support in recruiting teacher candidates with diverse<br />
skills and backgrounds, particularly those holding certification in difficult to fill subject areas. The department will work with these<br />
school districts to develop a larger pool of teacher candidates to address immediate workforce needs in the ES<strong>BOCES</strong> region.<br />
DESCRIPTIVE NARRATIVE: There are inconsistencies within the agency’s recruitment and hiring practices when vacancies occur<br />
in both classified and non-classified areas. The Department of Human Resources will look to gather data with regard to the methods<br />
by which the various divisions within ES<strong>BOCES</strong> recruit, hire and retain new staff. The Department will then work with divisional<br />
leaders to create a unified system that will successfully recruit, hire and retain a diverse staff in a timely fashion.<br />
In supporting the recruitment efforts of component school districts, the department will assess the need for a service providing<br />
assistance in improving the quality of teacher candidates available to the region.<br />
ACTIVITIES<br />
