| ShortDescription | This project involved the development of a workforce and succession management plan for the South Carolina Department of Transportation, focusing on the maintenance area of the department. |
| LongDescription | Given the implementation of early retirement incentive programs, technological improvements, and the need to strategically determine which positions are necessary, workforce development and/or succession planning has become crucial in the current workplace. The focus of this project was to include the development of a workforce plan for the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT), specifically focusing on the maintenance area of the department. In order to provide a comprehensive study and proposal, the process incorporated a literature review, a comparison of other Departments of Transportation (DOTs), a study of DOTs with similar programs, career ladders for the classification series of Trades Specialists I-V, prototype position descriptions, and cost structure determination. The focus and significance of this project was based on the ability of SCDOT to be successful by accurately projecting future workforce needs and taking steps to assure that this workforce is in place. The research was a conceptual design that incorporated the potential for a progressive system of advancements based on acquisition of skills, abilities, and demonstration of competencies. The result was a Workforce Development Program that integrated the needs of the department with an opportunity for advancement for employees. |
