County Educator Hiring Priorities:
- Area Extension Directors (AEDs) are currently working to fill more than 40 county-based educator priority vacancies from nEXT Gen Hiring Waves 1 and 2. Twenty-eight of the positions have been filled to date. The remaining positions are in various stages of the interview process, and there is one position posted at this time.
- With county support and demand for Cooperative Extension programming exceeding our ability to co-fund all positions, there are 68 budgeted positions that are being considered for co-funding. AEDs proposed 190 staffing solutions to the Assistant and Associate Deans, who use them to propose a resolution for all remaining budgeted positions.
- Resolutions for all remaining budgeted positions are as follows:
- 16 positions – AEDs are working to post these positions immediately.
- 36 Positions – Approved, but will require AED discussion with Partners before posting as they are creative multi-county and regional solutions.
- 16 Positions – On hold for the time being as other multi-county or regional options are explored by AEDs.
