Your Expertise is Needed!

Recently, the Employee Development Program conducted an assessment of the university's professional development needs. Employees were asked to provide input regarding training programs and to rate their interests in various training topics.

The topics employees were most interested in to improve their job skills or further their professional development included some of the following:

• Conflict Resolution
• Negotiation Skills
• Speaking Before Groups
• Project Management
• Team Management
• Problem Solving
• Dealing with Difficult People
• Coaching Employees
• Diversity (all topics)
• Documenting Procedures
• Time Management, and more.

The Employee Development Program is currently looking for volunteers (staff, faculty, graduate students) to teach classes on these topics to interested employees. If you have a specialty in any of these areas and would like to volunteer your time to teach a 1-2 hour class to employees at the university, please contact Aria Andrus.
