Abstract

The current public sector faces a critical challenge: attracting exceptional talent. This task is
crucial for strengthening institutional capacity and enhancing the quality of government services.
Therefore, it is urgent to implement effective strategies for early attract and retain high-caliber
professionals whose expertise and dedication to public service can serve as catalysts for a more
efficient and citizen-oriented administration.The study explores the University Extension Course
in Environmental Control (CEU, in Spanish), designed and developed by the Environmental
Assessment and Enforcement Agency (OEFA, in Spanish) of Peru. Initially, the CEU course
aims to promote university students’ interest in environmental oversight topics. In recent years, this
course was developed as a strategy to attract specialized talent in environmental control, allowing
top students from each specialty to undertake internships at OEFA facilities nationwide.
Attracting specialized talent is a key pillar in the organizational realm, essential for incorporating
highly skilled and motivated professionals. Strategies in this regard include a set of actions specifically designed to attract university students with skills and competencies aligned with the
organization’s needs and objectives. Among the main strategies is the implementation of training
and specialization programs targeting students in the fields of science, law, and economics.
A description of the CEU is provided, offering a general explanation of the stages of design,
enrollment, participation, and results. These stages help to understand how the implementation
of a training and specialization program in environmental oversight contributes to ensuring the
success and the competitiveness of the OEFA. The results are presented in terms of participation
by gender, type of university, regions, and specialty. This article contributes to the academic
debate on human resource management in the public sphere, offering valuable insights and
lessons learned that can inform future practices and policies in this sector.
