HR Announces New Professional Development Schedule for Winter 2017

As we all prepare ourselves for the new academic year, your colleagues at the Professional Development Program would once again like to play a supportive role in your growth and development. We have a new schedule of professional development workshops on skills ranging from running effective meetings to using the Adobe Suite for design.

The classes are already scheduled and registration is now open, so check out the class list and register here.

New Trainings and Special offerings

We roll out new trainings and special offerings every quarter. This quarter, please check out the following:

• Social Media Basics, with Marketing & Media Coordinator Kessa Volland and Sports Information Director Jeff Evans
• Strengths-Based Management, with Ron Marks
• Managing Your Hot Buttons, with Dennis Dashiell
• Improv for Leadership & Team Development, with Ron Marks and Mario Orallo-Molinaro
• Leader as Coach series, cohort #4, with Ron Marks
• Adobe Suite trainings (back again), with A.J. Barse

In Development: All-Day STAR Training

We will be piloting an all-day training that condenses 16 hours of content from our STAR series of trainings into a single 8-hour day. This intensive experience is meant to get whole departments rapidly up to speed on the most essential skills that people managers must have to succeed on this campus. Let us know if you are interested in this for your department in future quarters by emailing us at hr.training@wwu.edu

Thank you, and have a great Winter Quarter!
