That webinar – organized by the TransComm Professional Development subcommittee – is entitled “H-O-T-T-No! Don’t Go! Keeping Top Talent at Your State DOT” and will offer a variety of tactics to help hire and keep employees in various roles within state agencies – especially the exceptional ones so easily recruited by a wide range of rival firms in both the public and private sectors agencies.
Webinar attendees will hear from the Nebraska Department of Transportation about its “Good Life, Great Journey” scholarship program launched in 2024, as well as from the New York State Department of Transportation about the state’s broad effort to recruit federal workers that have either taken early retirement or have been laid off.
And the West Virginia Department of Transportation will also provide insight into how its human resource office helps its workforce in a variety of ways.
