Porter outlines DCAS career pathway programs and shared goals
Porter describes the range of programs from entry-level to specialized professionals, all aimed at bringing top talent into city agencies.
Each program has its own distinct qualities, but together they create pathways into public service for a wide range of talent, from those just beginning their careers to those looking to advance and grow,
as well as professionals with highly specialized skills and expertise.
What connects them all is a shared interest in serving government and making a difference for New Yorkers.
Together, these programs are part of our broader efforts to bring top talent into city agencies.
And most importantly, offer New Yorkers opportunities to build meaningful, long-term, and life-changing careers in public service.
To achieve this, DCAS supports agencies by
employing strategic, targeted, and ongoing recruitment efforts, as well as creating spaces and forums for professional development.
It gives us great pride to say that DCAS is often there for municipal staff from their very first government application to their first day of work, all the way through to the day they retire.
We also share the council's interest in ensuring that there are ample pipelines into city service and that those pathways are strong, robust, and continue to evolve to meet the ever-changing workforce landscape.
