Future and Leadership
Our Future and Leadership groups are professional development groups for staff who have either been identified by their supervisors as long-term employees and future leaders or who already have some experience as a leader. These groups are provided with support, networking opportunities, problem solving techniques and leadership skills. Since 2017, over two hundred employees have graduated from these groups.
Mentoring Program
Our Mentoring program matches mentors and mentees across the agency to help with connections and professional development goals.
