Francisco, Auditor
“The department’s Intern-to-Hire program was a great way for me to learn from audit professionals and prepare to become an Auditor 1. During my time as an intern, I was able to learn from many different auditors about the types of audits done for district courts and row offices. By the end of my internship, I was confident in my abilities to serve as a full-time auditor – and so was the department.”
Alexis, Training Administration Manager
“Through the department’s tuition reimbursement program, I was able to pursue and earn my master’s degree. I’ve also learned a lot from my co-workers here and across the Commonwealth. As a result, I’ve gained valuable insight, grown in my role, and strengthened my skills – all of which supports my team in delivering quality training programs to our colleagues.”
Pam, Segment Manager
“I started as an Auditor 1, have been promoted up to an Auditor 5, and now I’m a segment manager. I’ve experienced significant growth and development professionally over the years. I took on complex assignments, assumed leadership roles on audit teams, and have enjoyed guiding and mentoring less senior auditors. The department helped enhance my skills through continuing education and professional certifications, which have kept me informed about emerging trends and advancements in auditing. My growth has attributed to my reputation of being professional, dependable, experienced, and a deliverer of quality audit services.”
Justin, Director of the Office of Information Technology & Support Services
“Starting my career as an IT auditor, transitioning to an IT role, and now serving as the Director of IT has given me valuable insights into both sides of the department’s operational processes, which has significantly contributed to my professional growth. Over the years, I’ve taken on additional responsibilities, led various projects, and continuously expanded my skill set. This progression has enhanced my technical expertise, leadership abilities, and strategic thinking.”
Evan, Auditor
“Besides the many great benefits, there are two things I like most about working for the department: no two days are ever the same, and I can volunteer at my local fire company because of my work/life balance. I didn’t have to work at one of the big CPA firms to find a rewarding career – I’m inspired by my work and gaining the qualifying skills and work experience needed to obtain my CPA license.”
Nakeia, Administrative Officer
“I value being a part of a healthy work environment surrounded by a tight-knit, supportive group of colleagues. Not only do you have access to generous benefits working here, but you’re also given a chance to make a difference in your community and contribute to the public good, which is inspiring.”
