Professional Development at UW

HR Training & Development

Professional development is an investment in the skills, knowledge and capabilities individuals need to succeed today and prepare for what’s next. It helps faculty and staff build new skills, adapt to changing demands and stay engaged in their work.

Employee development is directly connected to employee engagement. Gallup identifies development (the opportunity to learn and grow) as one of five essential elements associated with increased employee engagement. And why is employee engagement important? It leads to higher productivity, higher wellbeing, less absenteeism, less turnover and fewer safety incidents.

Why is Professional Development Important?

Professional Development isn't limited to formal training or earning a degree; it can happen through workshops, certifications, mentoring, conferences, job shadowing, online learning, networking and everyday experiences that expand what you know and can do.

 

The Human Resources Training and Development team is invested in employee development and offers numerous training opportunities for University of Wyoming employees to learn, grow and succeed in their roles.

 

Opportunities include:

  •  In-person and virtual training throughout the year
  •  Collaboration training with other departments
  •  Customized workshops
  •  Access to LinkedIn Learning for all benefited UW employees.
