So the development of the, annual examination schedule, it's a collaborative effort with city agencies where we first start out with, using data.
1:08:22
And, so that's data around the number of provisionals that, are serving, in the city, and then taking a look at, active lists that may be scheduled to terminate, you know, within the next year.
1:08:35
And DCAS comes up with a tentative list of schedule of exams or titles that we plan to offer in the upcoming fiscal year.
1:08:43
We then reach out to these city agencies and we ask for their input in the schedule through what we call a workforce planning questionnaire.
1:08:51
And it gives agencies an opportunity to assess their their their workforce to determine, any special programs that they foresee coming in the the near future or titles where they may see a high attrition rate.
1:09:03
And then the the agencies would then provide that information to DCAS for consideration in in including the title and the examination schedule.
