Training Administration Team

The PS Advisory Committee (PSAC) has raised concerns about the lack of central information and coordination of the various training sessions offered around Grounds.  With an increasing volume of training demands placed upon faculty and staff, the concerns about coordination, quality, and necessity have intensified.  While acknowledging the complexities and challenges of administering training at a decentralized institution, there is consensus that this topic warrants further investigation and that there are ways to achieve improved effectiveness and efficiency through enhanced collaboration of the various training delivery entities.  PS has partnered with the Director of Employee Development in UHR to develop an assessment plan to review University-wide training and professional development resources, services, and offerings in order to:

• Assess the effectiveness of training in terms of fulfilling the larger University’s needs (e.g. accessibility of services, scope of offerings, content of offerings, quality of training, transferability/application in the workplace, etc.)
• Ensure that programs, courses, and services being offered by multiple providers are complementary, not duplicative, and therefore, maximize University resources.
• Suggest recommendations to enhance continuous communication and collaboration among training and professional development provider across Grounds.
