S.E.E.D.
Staff Enrichment and Educational Development:
A Work Study Program
The goal of the Staff Enrichment and Educational Development (S.E.E.D.) Program is to develop an educated and stable workforce committed to the Division of Family and Children Service's (DFCS) mission, vision, values and goals. The S.E.E.D. program represents the agency-employee partnership umbrella for a number of educational or enrichment activities that share the following goals:
- Increase the knowledge, skills and abilities of Division employees in order to enhance their effectiveness on the job.
- Improve the employee's opportunity for promotion within the Division of Family and Children Services.
- Address the critical workforce needs of the Division.
By supporting the employee's return to school through the S.E.E.D. program, the agency receives immediate and long-term benefits. The employee continually brings their new information and skills gained in school back to the job site. While, on a long-term basis, staff that feel more effective in their work are more likely to remain with the agency.
At this time, the S.E.E.D. Program consists of part time work-study assignment with pay to pursue a college degree that is specifically related to employee job responsibilities or promotional opportunities within the Division, and on the approved list of degrees as determined by S.E.E.D. Advisory Committee.
