The College of Continuing Education at Sacramento State has developed a unique outcome- and performance-based training program to develop California civil service leaders. The Portfolio is an integrated, competency-based training program designed as three separate but complimentary certificate programs. The Portfolio ensures that state employees in leadership, management and advanced supervision demonstrate proficiency in approved state managerial and supervisory competencies and execute them at levels appropriate to their positions.
The Portfolio’s general competencies were identified by 5000 managers and supervisors in 985 classifications as those required to perform effectively as state government leaders, managers and supervisors. The Portfolio incorporates direct learning application on the job through pre- and post-training assessments. Attendees set measurable goals and objectives before training that will affect positive, strategic change in their organizations thus facilitating the calculation of measurable return on investment.
The Portfolio’s curriculum incorporates case studies, group discussions, individual projects, peer networking and guest speakers.
The Portfolio’s goal is to connect key competencies with statewide initiatives such as Fi$Cal, HR Modernization Project, 21st Century, and succession planning to ensure participants apply learning on the job to address issues affecting the state of California.
