One major challenge facing the City is that of attracting and keeping the best workforce possible. With increased competition for new employees, the City has realized that developing employees is key to creating and maintaining a successful organization.
Gainesville Corporate University (GCU) was created to provide a comprehensive learning environment designed to meet the developmental needs of our employees. With our strategic partners around the organization, GCU will identify needs and provide learning opportunities designed to address everything from technical knowledge to leadership development.
However the focus of GCU is not simply on developing employees. All programs will also be focused on achieving organizational goals and strategic plans and all programs will be connected to performance competencies that have been identified as critical to the success of both the organization and employees.
In summary, GCU is dedicated to effectively addressing the learning needs of the organization, creating results-oriented personal and organizational performance excellence.
