Training and Development is a crucial part of Human Resources, focusing on enhancing employees' skills, knowledge, and competencies. In the West Virginia Division of Personnel's merit system, it is essential for maintaining a capable and motivated workforce aligned with organizational goals. The Organization and Human Resource Development (OHRD) page offers comprehensive resources, including training programs, workshops, and development tools, along with policies like the Supervisor/Managers Training Program Policy (DOP-P18). HR professionals are responsible for ensuring compliance with this policy, maintaining records, and supporting workforce development through these resources.
We recommend starting with the online mini-class Policy 18 Learning Blast alongside the Supervisor/Manager Training Program Policy (DOP-P18). These resources provide a comprehensive overview of the training requirements for supervisors and managers, including essential documentation and timelines for completion.
Next, explore the WVDOP-OHRD Class Pages website, which offers an extensive list of training opportunities available through our section.

We’ve included resources detailing our services and guidance on how to request them, ensuring you have access to the support you need for effective training and development within your organization.
