Yes

A brief description of the sustainability trainings and professional development opportunities available to staff :

Sustainability has been included as a dedicated topic in the schedule of presentations and available corresponding videos.

Training for Supervisors:
Employee Services is implementing a training program to strengthen the content knowledge of our campus supervisors and establish a foundation of supervisory skills. We solicited input from campus supervisors about their training needs, then designed a program built around the needs they expressed. All supervisors are invited to participate in monthly training sessions focused on a specific topic and led by in-house trainers. As a follow up, supervisors are being offered supplemental training videos related to the topic of the month. At the end of the year, supervisors will receive a certificate reflecting the number of supervisory training hours they completed this year.
Faculty who supervise staff and staff who supervise students are welcome to participate in the supervisor training series.

Training for Non-Supervisors:
Employee Services will be sending out communications every month promoting a few pre-selected training videos that all employees are able to take. Where possible, we've designed the training schedule for non-supervisors to mirror the topics that supervisors are being trained on so that parallel training is offered to all employees. In addition, a member of the Employee Services team will lead an in-person training session for non-supervisors each quarter.
