Employee Professional Development Resources

If you're interested in furthering your professional development during your time with UCL, then you can reference this page for a list of online course providers.

Many options listed below are free, however some include a fee. Please check in with your supervisor and get approval before participating in any options requiring a fee. UCL may be able to cover the cost.

Except for the University of Utah and UCL offerings, we can’t attest to the quality or value you may derive from any of these online listings. Please notify Katina of any unsatisfactory experiences you may encounter. 

We also welcome any additions to the list. If you find or participate in something you think may have value to other UCL employees please pass on the information.

Special Topics Presentations

Three times a year, a special topics presentation is offered to all UCL staff to attend with the approval of their supervisor as long as their absence doesn't create a negative impact on their business unit. The topics offered are varied and may be work-related, personal or related to current university, community or national affairs. An email is sent out requesting an RSVP that you will attend.

Participation in any of the above listed professional development options earns you an entry in the quarterly Applause drawing.
