• Leadership Development Series – customized package of workshops spanning twenty topics that are designed to assist managers in developing essential managerial and leadership skills.
• SkillSoft – Access thousands of courses and simulations on a wide range of relevant information technology, business skills, computer desktop skills and compliance subjects.
• Professional Development Days – Concentrated slate of offerings scheduled over 3 – 4 days, twice a year. Employees network, catch up on department news and select from a variety of seminars, workshops, and training opportunities.
• Technology Training – software, hardware and system training to prepare employees to use the various technologies housed within the College.
