Overview
The Office of Employee Development (OED) provides statewide
training and leadership development courses to State of Nevada employees,
enabling them to increase efficiency, personal effectiveness, productivity, and
customer satisfaction.
Our offerings are one of the ways that the State of Nevada
invests in building an educated and highly qualified workforce capable of
effectively serving the citizens of Nevada. We offer a full range of classes
with a focus on public sector needs and challenges and our curricula are
designed to help employees grow and develop in critical areas. The curated
learning paths of our courses assist agencies in development of succession
planning and workforce development strategies.
Our strategic priorities include:
- Provide competency-based training courses for all levels of
the workforce, including individual contributors, supervisors, and managers.
- Utilize technology to better serve our agency clients.
- Establish learning paths for employees to grow their skills
and capabilities.
The OED team assesses a wide body of professional development topics to design course offerings that are both academically rigorous and
grounded in the tactical skills germane to the needs of state employees. We
offer general education classes that can be taken as stand-alone learning
opportunities, as well as course-based learning, aligned to specific roles such
as supervisors or managers.
Our instructor-led course content is delivered in a
classroom-based environment. We also offer some courses for individual contributors and supervisors virtually through MS Teams. Classes are offered
regularly throughout the year for employees across the state.
