This group will meet every other month on Zoom for 90 minutes, and attendees are welcome to come to all or just some of the meetings. All sessions will be recorded and available to those who register for the series.
Carolyn Castro and others who work with BSAS through a collaboration with DMA Health Strategies, will host resource-sharing sessions, peer coaching, and highlight real examples from providers in the field. Together, we’ll also co-develop a toolkit that makes it easier to operationalize these strategies.
Meeting dates and topics are:
- Oct. 15, 2025: Inventory of Workforce Development Resources and Programs
- Dec. 17, 2025: Organizational Culture: Motivational and Supportive Approach
- Feb. 11, 2026: Leadership Approach and Roles
- April 15, 2026: Onboarding, Support, and Professional Development
- June 17, 2026: Community of Practice Toolkit and Updating Preliminary Practice Guidance
This CoP builds on prior work of a similar group who co-developed a Career Ladder Preliminary Practice Guidance. It is designed to be a facilitated space for collaborative learning, problem-solving, and implementation support. It’s open to BSAS-funded and/or licensed organizations, who will:
- Share what’s working and where support is needed.
- Learn from other organizations across different regions and service models.
- Explore tools and case studies to build more equitable and transparent career pathways.
- Offer input to refine and improve the Guidance and other resources over time.
We welcome any BSAS licensed and/or funded providers who may benefit from joining this CoP, particularly leaders whose programs or organizations are just starting to look at career pathways as a recruitment or retention tool. We also encourage organizations that are further along to join to share their models and lessons learned.
Audience
Program Directors, Organization Leaders, HR Directors, etc. working at BSAS funded and/or licensed organizations
