Training and Development

We offer courses for employees and non-employees that enhance workplace performance and skills. Courses cover such topics as management, communication, computers, and Spanish. Classes range from two hours on one day to several hours over the course of several weeks.

Our interactive classroom programs maintain small class sizes to ensure learners receive personal attention to their needs. Our classes are taught by some of the same faculty you’ll find at local universities, by local consultants, and by qualified employees of Redwood City. Employees have first priority for registration and attend all programs for free. Non-employees pay a minimal fee for attendance.

One of our exciting on-going development programs is our own Toastmasters Club.  City Talk Toastmasters is an on-going personal development program focused on enhancing one’s public speaking and leadership skills. Membership is evenly divided between City employees and non-employees, creating a true community partnership. We meet every Wednesday from 12:30-1:30 in City Hall Council Chambers.
