Take one of these professional development workshops

Did you know the University of Manitoba offers professional development workshops for employees to build their skills? These workshops are offered through the Learning and Organizational Development (LOD) office in Human Resources.

Whether you would like to learn how to motivate team members, build your skills in crucial conversations or even just manage your time better – you can do it through LOD. And as an added bonus, all workshops are free.

The Learning and Organizational Development (LOD) team is dedicated to the professional development and ongoing learning of University of Manitoba employees. There are multiple approaches it takes to build capacity and employee skills at the University of Manitoba, the most prominent of which are the classroom sessions.

And this September, LOD launched a new workshop space that will allow it to better serve employees taking sessions and will make the experience more exciting.

You can check out the new space by enrolling in one of this year’s offerings! Here are some of the new sessions on this year’s calendar:
