You’re learning on the job every day, picking up new skills and adding to your professional experience with every project or task. And while most work-related learning happens this way, professional development really takes off when supplemented by targeted instruction and resources that help you perform better in your current job or move along your projected career path.
Professional Development
Did You Know?
If you’re a nonbargaining unit staff member, you’re entitled to a minimum of three full days of training per year. You can choose courses that focus on your current job duties or your professional aspirations to learn new skills, enhance your existing strengths, explore new possibilities, or simply gain a deeper understanding of how Johns Hopkins operates.
Courses you take through JHU are funded as part of your benefits package, so there’s no charge to you, provided you comply with the Terms and Conditions agreement regarding attendance.
If you’re interested in pursuing further education through an accredited college or university, be sure to learn more about JHU’s tuition assistance programs, which can go a long way toward offsetting the cost. You can also contact the JHU Benefits Center to learn more about our tuition assistance benefits.
If you’re a manager, make sure that your staff members know about and use these benefits. Managers should allot time for staff training as part of their annual planning process.
