POLICY

 

Continuing education and training is fundamental to the Pierce County Department of Human Services' commitment to professional growth and quality services. The Department will assure that mandatory education and training to perform job duties is provided to appropriate staff. The Department will also support opportunities for employees to attend optional education and training with management approval. Such opportunities may prepare employees for change, enhance employee skills, and create benefits for the Department and the clients we serve.

 

Continuing education and training requests shall be considered on the relevance to the Department’s mission, degree to which it is required for agency compliance with laws, regulations, and program certification, staff time required to attend, and total cost of the request.
