The Public Health Workforce National Actor Map illustrates the national actors working to support the workforce, creating more robust and equitable pathways for government public health workers. Members of the Consortium worked in collaboration with the Consortium’s backbone team to identify the organizations to include.

In early 2022, National Consortium Working Group members from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), and the Montana Public Health Institute gathered information from their constituents and partners regarding recruitment. This document summarizes the themes from these conversations, categorized into overarching topic areas. In addition, emerging ideas are noted for each topic to suggest strategies for addressing challenges.

PublicHealthCareers.org was launched in late 2022 as a centralized and engaging option for those seeking employees in governmental public health. Job seekers visiting the site can learn more about public health career options and connect with open job opportunities from across the country. Governmental public health agencies may post open positions that will appear in PublicHealthCareers.org searches by entering job vacancies on the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials’ (ASTHO) Job Board. The process is simple and easy, and there is no cost to the agency.
