Organizational Learning, the university's central department for professional, career, culture change and leadership development, has new offerings and services just in time for the 2023-24 academic year.
U-M faculty and staff may view a list of offerings including microlearning opportunities, culture change and more!
Career Development Toolkit
Whether you are planning your career or helping others to plan theirs, the Career Development Toolkit will direct you to a wealth of information, resources and tools for career self-assessment, planning, preparation and job search.
Culture Change
In June 2022, U-M enacted an official policy about digital accessibility. The policy covers digital formats such as websites, documents and software programs. We've created, Introduction to Digital Accessibility, a new course to help you understand the importance of digital accessibility at U-M and its impact on workplace culture, relationships and team dynamics.
We also welcome you to participate in our new DEI course, Disability Awareness and Inclusion. In this course, you'll learn how to recognize and appropriately respond to requests for reasonable accommodations. This course is open to any U-M faculty or staff member who wishes to contribute to a more inclusive and accessible environment.
Leaders play an important role in helping to prevent workplace issues and wrongdoing. Leadership and Culture: Strategies to Prevent Workplace Issues and Retaliation is a new course that gives leaders tools and strategies to create a more welcoming and respectful work environment. The next sessions are Wednesday, Jan. 31 and Tuesday, Feb. 6. Additional dates are available.
