Good afternoon,
With summer just around the corner, this is also a great time for us to look towards next fall and consider plans for professional development and the training opportunities available to you through Learning & Organizational Development (LOD), Human Resources.
Our fall learning calendar will be open for registration in late August, and we are already working on new workshops and sessions to support your career development. We will have several offerings of both ‘Introduction to Management’ and ‘Introduction to Human Resources’, which are great foundational workshops to explore supervisory skills and human resources practices here at the University of Manitoba. Both can be taken as a stand-alone workshop and are also the prerequisite for their respective certificate programs: the UM Management Fundamentals Program (UMMFP) or the UM Human Resources Essentials Program (UMHREP). If you have started either of those certificate programs, maybe next fall will be your opportunity to complete your certificate. You can view a record of all of your LOD workshop attendance on your profile in LODReg by visiting: https://umanitoba.gosignmeup.com/Public/Course/Browse
If you are thinking of taking a degree credit course at the University of Manitoba, you may be eligible for tuition reimbursement under the university’s Support Staff Learning and Development policy. We encourage you to review both the policy, and the procedures to apply for reimbursement, well in advance of registering for a course so that you know your eligibility and the process to request reimbursement.
For more information on LOD programs and services, tuition reimbursement and staff development supports, and the work of the Support Staff Endowment Fund committee, log into the UM Intranet, select “Employee Resources” and under “Learning and Growth” select “Employee Career Development”: https://umanitoba.sharepoint.com/sites/um-intranet-career-development .
