C&T Summer Training: Courses through August 29 

Managers, please continue to encourage your C&T staff to explore the extensive summer course offerings available through August 29. Staff can assess their Microsoft Office skills, strengthen their “soft” skills, and chart their path forward with a career mobility model. We encourage you to share this with others, such as faculty or principal investigators, who may oversee C&T staff in your unit. Remember to record your staff’s course time on Workday as training.
