The Situation Valley County employees approximately 150 people in various office and technical jobs.
Employee training is a challenge for department heads.
Very few programs are offered locally that fit the needs of current employees. Suitable training programs are offered in Boise. The additional travel, over 160 miles round trip, is expensive when considering the loss of day of employee time to travel. Our Response Extension educators provide many training programs to volunteers, businesses, and organizations on such topics as leadership, communications, and organizational skills. These very skills have been identified by county employees and supervisors as training needs.
