CUNY Professional Development Program - Spring 2016

For February, the training theme is “Communication Leads to Community.”  To assist our campus in training for Workplace Violence Prevention month, all February courses are presented free of charge.  The schedule includes courses for managers and supervisors, professionals, and all staff members.  Several seats are available in the February 1st course, Building Positive Workplace Relationships.  This is an especially good course for managers, supervisors and other professional staff who have difficulty meeting work goals due to stress and challenging workplace relationships.  The 10-day application deadline is waived for this course to allow more people to register.  A similar course, Dealing with People Differences, is available for all staff.  (Please note that the February 2nd Leading Short-Term Improvement Projects course and the February 5th Tactical Communications course listed on the CUNY website have been cancelled.)  Additional courses for February include:

  • From Conflict to Collaboration: Coping When People Push Our Buttons (for all staff)
  • Resolving Conflict: A Leadership Approach (for managers and supervisors)
  • Strengthening Workplace Communication (for managers and supervisors)
  • Tactical Communications (for all staff)

Baruch/CUNY employees may register for these courses via the PDLM E-Application (“E-App”).  The E-App is available on the CUNY website at www.cuny.edu/training under How Do I Register?  Staff members must obtain authorization from their supervisors to attend.  Applications must be sent to the Office of Human Resources for submission to the CUNY PDLM Office.  Please note that these courses are not open to RFCUNY employees.
