The training and workforce development program seeks to hone the skills needed for staff to excel in their roles and to create a culture of learning throughout the agency. We seek to provide opportunities outside of daily work duties so staff can grow professionally and personally and be better equipped to drive their own success. Through added support for professional development, the program will promote workforce retention, performance, and thus a healthier North Carolina.

Expand opportunities for staff to participate in professional development who normally would not have funding to do so through dedicated funding.

Goal 1: By December 31, 2024, sponsor at least 30 staff to participate in professional development opportunities. 

Goal 2: Implement a management training program.
