About The Position

This position is being filled as Limited Term. There is a possibility that it may become permanent, but that is not guaranteed. The Michigan Department of Civil Rights (MDCR) has one of the most important roles in state government – so important that the Michigan Civil Rights Commission (MCRC) is enshrined in the Michigan Constitution: to investigate allegations of unlawful discrimination and to secure the equal protection of civil rights. MDCR was created in 1965 to carry out the work of the Commission. MDCR is an administrative law enforcement agency with investigative and enforcement authority. The Enforcement Process includes all of the tasks performed when a customer interacts with MDCR about a civil rights-related need or concern, including investigation and resolution of complaints of discrimination, outreach and education, and community engagement. This specialist will be responsible for the coordination and facilitation of internal Enforcement- related training. There are two positions available, to serve the Eastern and Western MDCR offices. This includes directing and guiding internal training for new employees as well as professional development to ensure staff have the skills and tools necessary to satisfactorily perform job responsibilities. The selected candidate for this position can work out of the Lansing or Grand Rapids office. However, the job responsibilities will include training staff in all department offices around the state of Michigan.
