Training and Development

Northeastern provides a variety of opportunities for faculty and staff to broaden their knowledge in their current roles as well as to learn new skills. Human Resources Management offers workshops and leadership programs.  We are in the process of building additional offerings so please check back regularly. 

Departmental training is often available and many staff members work on cross-functional or college-based project teams as a means of developing.
