OT&OD Logo


OT&OD, a division of the City’s Human Resources Department, is made up of 19 talented and passionate learning leaders on a Mission to build a first-class responsive and results-oriented workforce by providing learning that meets critical business goals and lifelong learning opportunities that will prepare employees in an evolving technological society.

The pandemic certainly impacted how we learn, grow, and connect with our coworkers. From a learning and engagement perspective, we have noticed an openness to build more meaningful connections in the workplace.

The next time you attend one of our courses, expect us to facilitate connections through peer to peer collaboration. Your trainer will still guide the learning experience; however, you are invited to elevate your participation.

consumption."
