The IBH program has partnered with Berkeley Social Welfare’s Mack Center and the Bay Area Social Services Consortium to develop a project focused on assessing and enhancing workforce development in California’s Adults and Aging Services programs, with a particular focus on enhancing recruitment and retention as well as efforts related to diversity, equity and inclusion. This project began with the development and launch of the Adults and Aging Workforce Survey, which was distributed to all Adults and Aging Services directors in the state. Ongoing work will include the analysis of survey data and presentation of survey findings to BASSC and other county directors, with the goal of determining next steps for a larger scale project focused on improving recruitment and retention of the Adult and Aging Services workforce.
