1:00 Workshop C: Recruitment and Retention
Federal agencies have traditionally engaged in a “spray and pray” approach to recruiting staff, wherein the age-old practice of filling empty seats has been the focus of recruitment initiatives.

• Provide an opportunity to enhance job skills, knowledge and abilities to strengthen the services and operations of the entire organization
