Training/Development

Training/Development creates and provides a diverse collection of training for all Pima County Public Works employees. Some of the programs offered include Wastewater Operator Certification program, lab safety and procedures training, state certification classes and testing, CPR and AED classes, SSO classes, and fall protection inspections. The group has worked hand-in-hand with other departments to develop and administer training classes that are designed to resolve some unique situations in Regional Wastewater Reclamation. The training staff has accommodated staff on off-shifts by providing training on their schedules, which has cut overtime costs and helped resolve some employee complaints.

Training/Development has also worked with and provided training for a wide variety of agencies and departments, such as the Sheriff’s Department, Risk Management, Parks and Recreation, Pima Vocational High School, Pima County Summer Youth Program, Pima Community College, ADEQ, and the federal prisons. Helping Pima County employees to become safer, better educated, and able to adapt to future changes has been the goal of the section since its creation. The staff at Training/Development hope to fulfill training expectations in the years to come and help create a more enjoyable work environment for Pima County staff and departments.
