Learning + Development
At the University of Alberta we are committed to creating change, questioning and challenging the status quo, driving excellence and leading with purpose.
Organizational Development helps employees to meet these challenges through award-winning education programs, workshops and on-demand learning that support the development of the knowledge, skills, behaviours and mindset that increases personal effectiveness, accountability and growth.
Learning Curriculum
How we approach learning
Our learning and development programming is designed to activate positive change. We ground our training programs in research and our facilitators are experts in their field.
Our training programs and workshops are:
- Experiential: We believe learning by doing is most effective.
- Reflective: We believe in drawing on learners’ lived experience.
- Interactive: We believe there is wisdom in the room. We believe in developing a learning community.
- Practical: We believe that practical application best supports learners in their day to day work and professional growth.
- Transformational: We believe learning is most powerful when it engages in a process that questions learners' beliefs, assumptions and perspectives.
