Talent Excellence
A talented workforce is an essential part of student achievement. To meet the everchanging needs of students, DoDEA must ensure all employees are equipped with the right resources. To help employees continuously improve, DoDEA identified three Strategic Initiatives: Onboarding Program, Employee Professional Growth, and Leadership Development Program. Together, these Strategic Initiatives ensure that DoDEA is attracting, hiring, and retaining a strong team while encouraging employee growth, development, and engagement.
DoDEA is committed to fostering a thriving workplace where we prioritize employee engagement, development, and leadership at all levels. We believe that an investment in our employees is an investment in student success.
