Good morning
I am pleased to tell you that Learning & Organizational Development (LOD) has opened our training and development workshops for the early part of fall, including sessions scheduled until the end of October. To register, please visit LODReg here: https://umanitoba.gosignmeup.com/Public/Course/Browse Going forward, we will continue to open the calendar six to eight weeks in advance throughout the remainder of the learning year and I encourage you to check the LODReg page regularly to view all of the employee learning and development opportunities as they become available. These learning opportunities are available exclusively to University of Manitoba employees.
Some training opportunities that may interest you include:
UM Management Essentials Program - LOD is pleased to be offering a new certificate program for managers that will launch in early 2026. There will be a pilot offering, in an accelerated format, October 22 to 29, 2025. Applications to participate in the accelerated pilot offering close September 8. The program includes 6 learning days and a Capstone, and will focus on best practices for self, people, and team management, to assist managers in achieving results aligned with UM strategic priorities. Information and applications to participate in the pilot offering are available here: https://umanitoba.sharepoint.com/sites/um-intranet-career-development/SiteP…
Ethics: Decisions and Impacts - new for 2025 to 2028, LOD is offering a customized, four-hour ethics workshop designed for university employees who are interested in learning more about ethical behaviour and decision-making, and for those who require completion of an ethics workshop to maintain their professional designation.
Inclusive Hiring Practices - Those involved in recruitment, selection, hiring and onboarding functions for non-academic employees hold special responsibilities when conducting these activities. This workshop provides a foundation of knowledge that will support our institutional efforts to have consistent and widespread integration of inclusive hiring practices.
Critical Dialogues - If you work as part of a team, support others' work, explain or share information, this communication skills workshop may be helpful for you to learn more about how to have successful conversations. This workshop covers topics relating to clarity, nonverbal communication, listening, empathy, respect, feedback and more.
New Support Staff Orientation - If you are a new support staff employee, or have hired a new support staff employee, there are regular offerings of orientation offered through LOD and available both in-person and online. Our next offerings are September 11 (in person) and October 9 (online).
Microsoft 365 sessions: I.S.T. Engagement Services provides several Microsoft 365 sessions covering topics related to Microsoft 365, Teams, Sharing Files, MS Forms and more. Search for "M365" when you visit LODReg to see available options.
