Organizational Learning has four main areas of focus:
Professional and Career Development
We offer dozens of in-person and online professional and career development classes, along with additional learning opportunities and resources to meet a variety of individual and departmental needs. Many courses are offered at no cost to individuals or departments.
Our offerings are focused on those that best support our professional and leadership development goals and institutional initiatives.
Leadership Development
We collaborate with partners on the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint campuses and Michigan Medicine to provide level-specific leadership development programs across the university.
One of our new offerings, Foundations of Leadership (FOL), is a leadership development course for faculty and staff. It is designed for leaders new to the university or their role.
Campus Culture Change Initiatives
We develop long-term educational strategies and interventions for university-wide culture change initiatives.
