Training and Development

An onboarding learning experience that takes newly hired employees on a journey through the Pima County Values (Accountable, Respectful, & Ethical) and Culture providing information and resources they’ll use to succeed in Pima County employment. 

All employees newly appointed to permanent part-time or full-time positions attend a Passport session with a cohort of employees from various Pima County Departments.  The Passport Program offers this in an innovative, interactive, memorable and informative way.  It’s called the Passport Program because employees are taken on an adventure not unlike international travel through various ports-of-call, collecting stamps in their passport booklet as they continue on their way.
