Information

Referral History:

On July 1, 2015, Contra Costa County (County) implemented its new outreach and recruitment plans. The goals of the plans were to further promote diversity and inclusion throughout the workforce. County departments along with the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity were instructed by the Board of Supervisors to conduct strategic outreach and recruitment efforts which were specifically designed to reach qualified under-represented groups within the communities we serve.

In order to determine under-representation in each department, the EEO Officer compares the County’s year end workforce data for males, females, Whites, Blacks, Hispanics and Asians to the availability of qualified people who reside in the local labor market who are 16 years or older. The local labor market data is compiled by the United States Department of Census. The EEO Officer reviews the workforce and the most recent labor force data to determine whether or not departmental underrepresentation exists. Each department with underrepresentation of 10% or more is required, at the direction of the Board of Supervisors, to create a strategic Outreach and Recruitment Plan. The departmental plans address the underrepresentation within the department and provide details of what steps will be taken to increase the applicant flow of the underrepresented groups.
