March Training & Learning Opportunities
Come learn with us!
Happy March everyone! The signs of spring are already showing up in our natural environment! (Spring Equinox=March 20th)
In March, many of our learning experiences focus on building and maintaining professional relationships. We offer curated sessions on team building, relationship building and mentoring, as well as our own session on the Performance Management Process for Supervisors.
March Training Calendar
Attached is a PDF of our March Training Opportunities. This PDF has links to register for each of the events listed. We look forward to seeing you at many of these events to engage you in our community of learning.
A few events of particular note in our March calendar are:
March is Women’s History Month! The USM Women’s Forum is hosting a webinar on March 15th entitled The Power of Mentoring. This exciting panel discussion of women leaders explore the effect of mentoring and career development.
Current events led to many requests for Active Assailant Preparedness Training. We have two sessions scheduled, one on March 6th and one on March 15th with John Schaible, UMBC’s Emergency Manager. The Faculty Development Center has two sessions planned as well. Please register for only one session as the presentation will be the same for all sessions. As seats fill, we will assess if more sessions are needed.
We have revamped our PMP Training for Supervisors and are holding our second session on March 14th with Michale S. Tallon, Director of Employee/Labor Relations. If you are a new supervisor looking for training in anticipation of giving your first PMP, or a seasoned manager looking for a refresher, this is the training for you! If the session is full, please reach out to hrtraining@umbc.edu and we will let you know when more sessions are scheduled.
Looking ahead to April, our focus on preparing supervisors and staff for the performance management process continues with curated webinars on Strategies & Tactics to Navigate Difficult Conversations on April 5th and Workplace Wellness that Works for Everyone on April 12th. April is also Stress Awareness Month. We will be offering a series on Stress Awareness and strategies to identify, manage, and overcome stress in our work and home lives. More on that coming up!
Please share the attached flier with all that we may be able to serve.
Happy Learning!
