DCAS is receiving feedback that young people were not aware of the breadth of opportunities and processes for careers in city government beyond the typical uniformed roles.
- People are surprised to learn about the diverse opportunities in city government
- Many request more events to learn about city government career paths
- Some express that they did not know they had an option for a city government career path
- Young people are engaged and interested in the information provided at the events

1:08:35
So I we oh, you know, I I don't wanna speculate.
1:08:40
We, you know, it's always very positive that I do know we've been to the events and people are very engaged.
1:08:47
I could ask our executive director of citywide recruitment who is always in the frontline meeting a lot of people.
1:08:53
Maybe she might have some insight about the young.

So some of the main feedback has been that they were not aware of the different types of opportunities available in city government.
1:09:23
Most people are familiar with their uniform titles and uniform agencies, but they weren't aware of the breadth of opportunities and even the process for getting them.
1:09:32
Just an example.
1:09:33
Yesterday, we were speaking to Americore members, and the first thing they're saying is like, wow, this information is so inform important.
1:09:39
I didn't know that there was an option for me.
1:09:41
To go into city government.
1:09:42
And we have been getting a lot of requests to participate in more events, to bring this information to more students, and even those that are further along in careers.
