Professional Development for Government,
Non-Profit and Community-Based Agencies

With homeland security and other federal priorities, budgets within public agencies are continuing to be jeopardized. While for-profit companies compete for market share, public agencies compete for positive public opinion. These strategies require a culture within the organization that understands how to be innovative and service-oriented, with a skill set that matches the public’s expectations.

The Center for Training and Development is a valuable strategic partner for government, non-profit and community-based organizations for professional development. Our education, training, and consultative solutions are tailored to meet your strategic goals. Choose from customized options that cover the topics you need the most including unlawful harassment, working with difficult people, coaching for performance, and customer service for public agencies.

Our Workforce Needs Assessment is a complimentary, comprehensive evaluation that is tailored for the Valley’s government, non-profit and community-based agencies to pinpoint your workforce needs.

For a customized solution, call CTD PublicAgencyConnect at (760) 773-2595 or email ksparkman@collegeofthedesert.edu for more information.

QUICK FACT:
As government budgets are reduced or re-prioritized, public sector organizations must improve both internal and external customer service and satisfaction and maximize their operational efficiency.

"Thank you, thank you for lining us up with Clyde Birch of FranklinCovey! He was the perfect speaker for us to rev up our employees about how important being value-centered is to a top-notch organization. He really set the stage for us as we introduced our 12 new value statements."
