Talent Modernization

A key to digital transformation is cultivating a digitally mature workforce. This requires building up capacity and equipping our existing talent with new tools and resources. This will allow them to better navigate challenges and deliver user-centered services. Along with that, we want to attract subject matter rock stars from outside government.

Here's how we're up-skilling workers recruiting top digital talent to the State:

• Identify skills missing from existing teams
• Arm existing teams with the tools and resources they need to learn new skills and adopt modern standards
• Provide opportunities for career growth and professional development
• Cultivate networks of practice to develop and share ideas and best practices
• Attract high quality, diverse talent
• Quickly onboard and integrate new team members
