Professional Development: RESPECT – DIVERSITY – SUCCESS - FOR OUR WORKFORCE

Professional development is an essential effort supported by Binghamton University's strategic plan. The goal is to develop people to their full potential, maximize career mobility and provide important tools and skills for success in the various roles on campus. Each semester, collaboration among several campus offices and departments produces a range of offerings which are listed on this portion of the HR homepage. The effort is coordinated by the university's Professional Development Committee and the Office of Human Resources.

In addition, Human Resources offers a consulting service to university departments and offices focusing on process improvement, training for staff, strategies for career mobility and a future goal includes career coaching.

The programming this fall is proudly presented by the University's Professional Development Committee, which was formed in 2005 and is composed of individuals interested in and devoted to professional development. The committee is chaired by the Human Resources Department and has a mission to offer a range of professional development activities for the university community.

Topics include Supervisory/Management Skills, Wellness, Technology, Retirement Planning, and General Interest programs such as identify theft, personal safety, e-mail etiquette and much more. We encourage you to take advantage of these personal and professional development opportunities, and to explore the offerings of the campus partners who have contributed to this program: the Employee Assistance Program, University Libraries, School of Management, Physical Facilities, Human Resources, Affirmative Action, UUP, CSEA, the Center for Quality, University Police, Technology Training Center, and Campus Recreation.
