Employee Development and Training
How employees can take advantage of Employee Development workshops*

Eligibility
     All University employees are eligible for Employee Development
programs. However, employees will need supervisory approval to attend.
Some courses are designed for a specific employee group. Check the
course announcement.

Release time
     Release time for an employee to participate in employee
development workshops requires supervisory approval. Supervisors
should balance workshop requirements with the employee's need for
skill enhancement and/or career growth. The University encourages
supervisors to discuss release time options for participating in
University-sponsored training programs with interested employees.

Course enrollment
     Enrollment in training programs is limited to preregistered
participants. Special program priorities are noted in the course
announcement. Please register well in advance of the workshop dates.
Courses will be cancelled due to low enrollment.

Program acceptance
     Employee Development will notify employees of course acceptance
within two weeks of program date. Every effort is made to honor
program requests. If a workshop is full, the interested employee will
be placed on a waiting list. If possible, additional sessions will be
scheduled. In the event a workshop is canceled, employees will be
enrolled in the next available session.

Cancellations
     If an employee is unable to attend a workshop, he or she must
call Employee Development, 831-2022, at least two business days before
the program. Payments for fee-required programs will be forfeited if a
cancellation is made without providing proper notification.

Consultation services
     The Employee Development unit is available for consultation to
any University unit regarding specific organizational, training,
development and career planning needs. For specific information,
interested individuals should contact Edwina Haring, at 831-2022, to
arrange for an appointment.

Development.
