Professional Development Training

Our center focuses on the professional development needs of Case Western Reserve University staff and faculty. Most training sessions are presented in a virtual format, focused on upskilling and providing tools for professional success to individual contributors and supervisors.

See the training titles and dates below for our current training offerings. Click the "Training Title" to register for the virtual training session through CampusGroups using CWRU Single Sign-on.

Employee Training Workshops:

Staff and faculty are welcome at all training workshops, though certain training sessions may focus more on a supervision perspective. Certain classes will count towards our Employee Supervision Certificate, but these classes may be beneficial to non-supervisors, and especially aspiring supervisors.
