Tips for Staff Members Preparing for TrainingBefore requesting your supervisor's approval to attend training, consider How will the program assist you in your daily work or benefit you personally? How will you share any learned information with your work group following training? (for example, routing materials and notes to your colleagues, arranging to present a brief overview of learned material in an all-staff meeting, meeting with your supervisor, or making a recommendation for other colleagues to attend the same course) To minimize potential disruption to your department, how could work coverage be handled, or job tasks reprioritized, while you attend training?
Working with your supervisor, you may also use the Professional Development Worksheet for Staff Members (PDF) to discuss, plan for, and document training or other intended development. |
