Staff Development

Dedicated Training Day

Various

Date: 21 May 2013Time: 9:00 AM

Finishes: 21 May 2013Time: 5:00 PM

Venue: Room: Various

Type of Event: Workshop

As both academic and professional services staff find it difficult to attend training and development activities during term time, we have decided to continue our 'Dedicated Training days' in the next academic session as they have proven to be so successful. On these days, a variety of training and development events will be offered in non-teaching weeks, on different days of the week to make it easier for all staff to devote time to their continuing professional development. Staff are expected to be available on those days by planning their work, visit and research schedules around these dates. This is particularly important where there is mandatory training related to a post. Line managers are asked to support this initiative wherever possible.

The dedicated training days are:

  • an opportunity to put aside time for your personal and professional development
  • an opportunity to attend courses that may be mandatory, or of interest, to you in your position
  • scheduled in the School Calendar
  • scheduled in non-teaching weeks i.e. before the start of terms 1 & 2, and in the exam period in Term 3.

All staff will be expected to be available to attend relevant courses on these days, so other commitments should be arranged around these dates.

Sessions will take place throughout the day, some being a full day course, others being shorter.

The exact details of these sessions will be posted on the Calendar on the Staff Development web site as they are confirmed. Places can be booked in the normal way using the online booking system from each event page.
