Industry Assessments
Several initiatives are underway in our industry to better define the current state of the transportation workforce and to identify where the industry needs to move going forward in terms of job projections, knowledge, skills, & abilities (KSAs), and position descriptions.
NCHRP 20-07/Task 408: Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO) Workforce: Skills, Positions, Recruitment, Retention, and Career Development is currently developing a large number of these items, including the identification of training programs, model position descriptions, and strategies for recruitment and retention.
Additionally, NOCoE has collected sever resources in our Knowledge Center to assist public sector employers:
- U.S. Domestic Scan Program: Leading Management Practices for Developing a Cross-Trained Workforce
- Project Delivery Workforce Management Review (NCHRP 20-07/Task 205)
- AASHTO TSM&O Guidance: Organization / Workforce Dimension
- National Training: Challenges and Opportunities
