One of two things is almost certain in today's work world: either your job will change, or you will change jobs. As such, continuous professional development at any stage in a career is a sound investment. Learning can expand our network, grow our business and technical skills, help to deepen an understanding of ourselves and others, and develop a leadership and management toolbelt all of which positively impact an organization's culture.
Michigan Engineering's Leadership, Organizational & Professional Development team focuses on high-quality and timely learning opportunities. Whether online and self-paced, in person or via Zoom, the content will focus on the areas of business/technical, leadership/personal, networking, or DEI.
Each month Michigan Engineering staff receive an email that highlights the next month’s learning opportunities with an indication of which Performance Categories a session will focus on. There is also a spotlight on other sessions from other Michigan Engineering departments like our partners in Organizational Learning, FASCCO, and the online learning platform-LinkedIn Learning.
