Hello

As summer approaches, I want to note some important learning and development offerings. These opportunities are available exclusively to UManitoba employees.

Highlighting the Support Staff Learning and Development Policy: this policy outlines the university’s commitment to supporting the learning and development of support staff employees. Support staff may be eligible for reimbursement of University of Manitoba undergraduate degree-credit tuition, on a course-by-course basis.  This is a great time to consider your plans for fall and winter courses. Interested in Psychology? Want to learn French? You can take an occasional course or work towards an undergraduate degree – the choice is yours. For more information about eligibility for tuition reimbursement for University of Manitoba undergraduate degree-credit courses, you can review the Support Staff Learning and Development Procedure document. **Remember that requests for reimbursement must be submitted to LOD prior to, or no later than at the time of, registering for the course(s).

Our workshop calendar is open until the end of June.  There are several workshops being offered in May and June that may interest you including:
