RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the proposed action herein is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exemption); and
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract, as a result of a competitive selection process specified by Section 4.08.047 of the Pasadena Municipal Code, with Linkedln Corporation (Linkedln) for an online employee training platform/learning library for a total amount not-to-exceed $141,615 over a three-year term.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pasadena is committed to the professional and personal development of its workforce. The Human Resources Department administers the citywide training program to ensure that employees have the opportunity to improve, maintain and develop needed competencies to provide efficient and effective services to the public. In order to support multiple styles of adult learning and reach as many employees as possible, training typically is delivered through traditional "live" classes as well as an on- demand online library. An online training platform solution offers a robust collection of business, technology and leadership courses that employees can access anytime, at their own pace. This supports the department's mission to attract, retain, and develop a diverse and highly qualified workforce for the City of Pasadena.
