Talent Division Mission, Vision and Core Values

OUSD will be the premier education employer in the greater Bay Area,
dedicated to ensuring that all children and families in Oakland thrive.

It is the responsibility of the Talent Division to find, keep and grow extraordinary adults
 to work for Oakland's children.  We are the guardians of the employee experience;
we work to ensure employees feel valued and supported and that
they have opportunities to develop, excel and be recognized for their efforts. 

We do what it takes to achieve results.

We value a balance between our work and personal lives, and we truly believe
that happy and well-balanced people perform best.

Our work is driven by what is best for students, families and our community.

To maximize our collective impact, we inspire, challenge and support each other to be our best
and sustain our effort.  We value and care about each other, operate with a generosity of spirit,
and have fun in the process of working together,

We are committed to getting better every day in all that we do, as individuals and as teams.
