These Programs will track your SDP progress for you. Please see additional information within the current TD catalog.

Talent Development is also offering a variety of Focus Certificates, as outlined in this Focus Certificate Catalog, for all faculty and staff who want to pursue a professional development certificate in a particular area of study.

Don’t forget to check My Learning as frequently as you want for training openings. We have gotten a lot of feedback about how challenging it can be to get registered for classes as they fill-up quickly.  We are addressing this concern in several additional ways:

  • Please don’t forget to unregister or withdraw as early as possible* from any training you are unable to attend – we still struggle with no shows and have participants on waitlists that would attend if space were available. *Here’s how: Go to the My Learning Dashboard, find the title from which you want to unregister, and click RESCHEDULE and/or UNREGISTER.
  • We offer multiple sessions and waitlists for each of the Foundation trainings, which are part of the required training for supervisors.
  • We have added waitlists for all of our Core trainings, which are also part of the CSU Supervisor Development requirement. We monitor those that have high-demand waitlists to determine if we need to add additional sessions.
  • If an Elective training you want is full, please email My Learning Support and request a waitlist for it.

Thank you to VPD, HR, and OEO!

We would like to thank the office of the Vice President for Diversity, Human Resources and the Office of Equal Opportunity at Colorado State University for their partnership with us. Because of these offices, we are able to offer classes such as Rules of the Road and Inclusive Excellence part one and two. We would like to express our most sincere gratitude, the Supervisory Development Program would not be possible without the help of these offices!
