Leadership Learning Pathways Consultant Service

The Jacksonville Public Library in Jacksonville, Florida, requires a consultant to establish a formal leadership and management development program. The library currently lacks a structured framework for leadership training, which has resulted in inconsistent expectations and performance across its supervisory staff. To resolve this issue, the agency is seeking high-quality, accessible training and professional development opportunities that enhance staff knowledge, skills, and behaviors. The selected consultant must conduct a comprehensive needs assessment and interview both internal and external stakeholders to identify specific leadership skill gaps. The scope of work includes creating tailored learning paths, identifying gaps between current training offerings and the newly defined leadership competencies, and piloting learning improvements. Additionally, the consultant must develop needs assessment tools and establish an evaluation framework to measure the effectiveness of the program. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The performance of the contract work can take place either onsite in Jacksonville or offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and the resulting contract will span a period of one year. The agency has scheduled a pre-proposal meeting for June 8, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 15, 2026.
