Strategy:

• Develop apprenticeship programs that span multiple departments
• Create rotational programs to provide diverse experiences and justify flexible classifications

Examples:

• Case Study: The City of Charlotte's Corporate Management Trainee program rotates participants through multiple city departments over two years, providing a broad experience in local government.
• Tactic: Design a "Local Government Generalist" apprenticeship that includes rotations through finance, public works, parks and recreation, and administrative services, providing a comprehensive introduction to local government careers.
