Key tasks include conducting workforce assessments, identifying critical roles, developing training and development pathways, and creating actionable tools and implementation strategies. The plan must be practical, scalable, and aligned with existing operational and budget constraints, with a focus on long-term sustainability. The consultant will also engage stakeholders, incorporate best practices, and ensure alignment with organizational goals, equity principles, and public sector standards. The final deliverable will serve as a user-friendly implementation guide for department leadership and staff.
