Critical Conversation: Cultivating a workforce of knowledge workers

The third in a series of critical conversations.

Kevin Gamble will do a short introduction and then guide the conversation about cultivating a workforce of knowledge workers. Having flexible and passionate knowledge workers is critical to the future success of Extension. Factors to consider include recruitment, professional development, retaining, and rewarding employees that have the ability and mindset to respond to complex issues.

This critical conversation will be conducted as a Google+ Hangout On Air. Attendees can view and participate in the conversation on the Google+ Event page (linked below) or on the Network Literacy CoP YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/NetworkLiteracyCoP).

Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives.
