One of the goals in the Office of Finance is to create a workplace where our staff has the opportunity to learn, grow and contribute in meaningful ways. Toward this end, we endeavor to enhance staff competencies through professional development.
Given recent budget restrictions, we have established this website to provide links to low and no-cost training, seminars, webinars and other online learning opportunities. Before participating in these and other professional development opportunities, check with your supervisor for departmental approval requirements.
