Major findings:• Public health sciences skills was the domain with lowest proficiency rating
across all tiers for both local health departments and KDHE (with the exception of KDHE Tier 3)
• Significant percentages of LHD and KDHE staff reported that the competencies in the “Financial Planning and Management Skills” domain do not apply to their job (64% for LHD-Tier 1; 51% of KDHE- Tier 1).
• Age stratification of the workforce: There is a significant percentage close to retirement age and there is not a high percentage of new, young staff coming in to the workforce (see graphs p.3)

With the exception of some specific communities, the race and ethnicity demographics do not match those of the state, especially for KDHE (see graphs p.3)
There is interest in a public health certificate program specifically with local health department staff with 38% percent reporting they are definitely interested and 31% unsure
Tier A—The question with the lowest percentage of employees responding with agree/strongly agree was “Employees are continually developed through training, education, and opportunities for promotion” KDHE--51.52%, LHDs—66.67% (lowest overall for both). Additionally, KDHE and LHDs had a low percentage of agree/strongly agree for “Training is implemented as part of an overall system of employee development” KDHE—66.67%, LHDs—68.14%
