Register for the May Pathway Trainings

The Office of Human Resources has scheduled additional courses for May in the Training Pathways to Professional Success program because of the program’s popularity.

“We have received more requests to participate in the Pathways program, and I have seen more non-managers register for and attend training,” Dana Whatley Smith, manager of learning and development, said. “Definitely good news!”

University employees can customize their path and take just the classes they need or choose a path to complete the core courses and their choice of electives to enhance their professional growth.
