Strategic Workforce Planning: Tips and Tools for Local Transportation Agencies
This webinar featured a dynamic discussion of strategic workforce planning—a strategy to ensure the right mix of talent, now and in the future, to meet their organizational goals—and explained how it could help local agencies recruit and retain the most talented staff.
The event provided key takeaways from two workforce-related projects completed by the Minnesota Local Road Research Board (LRRB), the University of Minnesota, and Minnesota LTAP: Workforce Planning and Human Resources Development Strategies and Expanding the Transportation Workforce.

- Facilitated discussion to exchange and generate ideas on workforce strategies.
- The chance to provide Minnesota LTAP with feedback on ways we can help make local agency strategic workforce planning achievable and sustainable.
