• Trained 35 OSU IT employees across 17 OSU IT depts/units to-date
• Identified 4 volunteer GenderMag trainers to-date
• Built an interactive "community of practice" team channel for all current GenderMag graduates

In process:

• In discussions with our Procurement Office to build in an inclusivity check/assessment into the RFP process for IT systems

Status Summary

• Revised and expanded our project scope since the OSU IT winter 2021 plenary (see charter)
• Identified a set of data points, covering classification & compensation, demographics, location, education, and other points to help inform the current state. The project team is developing a plan to pull this data.
• Met with Michelle Lewis to discuss coordination plans for gathering skills & competency data for both the Portfolio Management Office (PMO) and the IT Workforce Plan. This coordination is done to ensure no duplication in effort.
  • The PMO needs to understand what skills & competencies our IT workforce has... so we can figure out how to align staff experience with our project/portfolio needs per the IT Roadmap.
  • The IT Workforce Planning Project Team needs to understand what skills & competencies our IT workforce has... so we can assess against the future state of our workforce and identify areas of professional development for our workforce at-large.
