Career Ladders

If you have ever wondered how to grow in your professional life, a career ladder tool can help you identify the necessary steps.  The career ladders developed by HRS can help you navigate the County of Alameda’s (County) classification system when planning your next career opportunity.

Career ladders identify a sequence of job classifications through which an employee can typically progress from entry to higher level positions that provide greater level of pay, skill, responsibility, and authority.  We developed approximately 90 career ladders representing each County agency/department along with several countywide career paths.  These career ladders do no’t include every career path in the County, but focus on the classifications that offer typical career mobility and advancement.  If you are interested in reviewing all our classifications and their respective job descriptions,  click here.

How to Navigate this Page:  Select countywide or a specific department  of interest.  Then, click on the career ladder where you will see an organization chart listing the series.  Then click on the specific classification.

We hope that you enjoy this tool as you explore and reflect on your next career endeavor!
