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
with interested employees this release time options for participating
in University-sponsored training programs.


                           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 canceled due to low enrollment.


                          PROGRAM ACCEPTANCE

Employee Development will notify employees of course acceptance within
two weeks of the 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. If 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.
