Within Human Resources, our Workplace Learning and Development team of training professionals are dedicated to helping you make the most of your skills, whatever your level, in a positive and supportive work environment. As you develop performance management plans for yourself and for your staff, we encourage you to take advantage of these professional workshops.

These courses are offered throughout the year to facilitate integrating new staff into the university environment and to meet regulatory and policy requirements. Supervisors and managers are required to take several additional courses.
