A year ago Associate Vice President for Business Operations Kay Harrison Taber charged a new committee to guide the training coordination process, develop a comprehensive training calendar, and develop priority trainings for ANR academics and staff.

The committee is led by Linda Marie Manton of the Staff Personnel Unit, Kim Rodrigues of the Academic Personnel Unit, and Mike Poe from Communication Services and Information Technology. The Committee members represent several units in ANR with interests in internal training needs and resources to produce training materials. Representatives of the committee recently met with the Executive Working Group for a second time to report their progress and receive feedback.

To help ANR personnel to find training, the committee has established the ANR Training website to serve as a directory. The site will continue to grow and collect more training opportunities as they are discovered or produced. Training is being obtained or developed for specific target audiences: academics, staff and directors. You can use the website’s survey form to make requests or suggestions for internal training to the committee.

The committee is also establishing standards for training development within ANR. Its members can suggest practical delivery methods to teach particular subjects and use varied modes of training delivery including, webinars, face-to-face workshops or seminars, desktop and room-based video conference technology, recorded tutorials, institutes and combinations of modes.
