Training Services @ IUPUI

What is Training?

Training is a systematic process for providing employees an opportunity to gain knowledge, learn and practice skills, and develop the appropriate attitudes and abilities to work more effectively on the job. HRA’s most common method for training is an in-class learning event led by an experienced facilitator, though other methods (on-line, web-based and on-the-job trainings) are being developed and offered.

Benefits to Employees and Management

HRA’s Training and Organization Development workshops are designed specifically for employees on our campus – dealing with the common situations they face. Workshops offered provide relevant and timely material to assist employees to become more confident and satisfied in their roles. HRA strives to provide topics to meet the personal, professional and career interests of our employees.
