Abstract:
Government leaders have not been successful in their strategies for developing a pipeline of African American college students to address the absence of African American representation in civil service management positions. The civil service’s pipeline of African American college graduates is insufficient for demand. The purpose of this qualitative modified Delphi study was to build consensus among a nationwide expert panel of government-affiliated talent managers regarding a grand strategy for creating a sustainable civil service pipeline of annual graduating classes of African American collegians. The panelists’ generated six solutions, which represented the grand strategy for this civil service pipeline.
