# Development Programs

#### The Training &amp; Development Department offers several development programs for campus employees:

#### Leadership A-State

This leadership development program is designed to provide new, current, and aspiring supervisors with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively lead within the university. The projected outcome is for participants to have the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally and directly apply the skills learned in their everyday activities within their department.

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 1.666em; font-weight: 400;">Support Staff Connection</span>

This initiative has been organized to provide support staff across divisions an opportunity to connect with peers, discuss things that are happening in their areas, ask questions, and build community. This is achieved through an email group and regularly scheduled training/networking events.
