More About Our Pillars of Work The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the vital role of local government in shaping a thriving community.

Below is a summary of the work performed in all our pillar areas. The right candidate will also have interest and proficiency in the primary pillar and others as well. ILGs Workforce Development & Civics Education pillar is focused on helping build better pathways into the public sector workforce by helping local agencies find workforce solutions to attract, recruit and retain the next generation of local government leaders. ILG helps public sector organizations improve opportunities to enter public service, particularly for younger generations and underserved communities and individuals. We are committed to finding new and innovative strategies for upskilling, re-skilling and recruiting in the public sector through programs like registered apprenticeships and building partnerships between local governments, academic institutions and other organizations with common goals. We highlight best practices, lead collaboratives, develop pilot programs, and convene key stakeholders to identify and clear away impediments to workplace success. This pillar also focuses on our youth, by addressing the general lack of awareness among young people about how local government works and sharing the many career opportunities available in the public sector. This pillar collaborates with schools and youth development professionals to increase access to civics education and expand awareness of the impact local government makes in everyday lives. The projects in ILGs Public Engagement pillar help local governments apply authentic, effective and inclusive public engagement practices that encourage public participation and allow residents to have greater public trust and confidence in local government. We train hundreds of local leaders on public engagement each year. We also help organize and facilitate public meetings and community workshops for our clients. ILGs Sustainable & Resilient Communities pillar focuses on helping local leaders find creative solutions to tackle issues like housing, environmental justice, climate action and community resilience. We believe that climate change is an immediate and escalating threat that is having a dramatic impact on the environment, the economies of our communities and on the health and safety of residents. ILG understands that elected leaders and staff need a solid foundation of good government - trust, accountability, responsiveness and transparency in order to be effective public servants and community leaders.
