Welcome to Talent Development

Yes, we've changed our name!

Training and Organizational Development (TOD) is now Talent Development (TD).

Talent Development creates a culture that is open to learning, and fosters continuous growth through the sharing of ideas.

We provide innovative solutions including the design and delivery of high-quality initiatives that engage, inform, and inspire individual employees and teams in support of CSU’s Principles of Community and land-grant mission.

The office of Talent Development designs and coordinates training and talent development opportunities for personal and professional growth for all Colorado State University employees — academic faculty, administrative professional staff, and state classified personnel. Our vision is to provide experiences and talent development services that support faculty and staff and align with Colorado State University’s strategic initiatives and mission.

Most training and consulting services are free of charge, though there may be a fee for cost of materials or copy written resources.

Purpose:

To inspire learning and innvovation – creating an engaged community.

TD Training Schedule News

The TD Early Fall 2019 Training Catalog offers trainings available between 8/13/19 and 10/17/19. Our Live Online trainings for our off campus Distance Learners are included. These sessions become available for registration the week of July 29.

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:

  • We offer multiple sessions 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.

Classes are FULL – here is how you can help:

  • Unregister or withdraw 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. Please unregister from the training as early as possible if you do not think you will be able to attend so that we can accommodate as many learners as possible.
  • Use the Waitlist option – while it may be frustrating to be on a waitlist, we encourage you to register for the waitlist option for trainings that are full so that we have an idea of the demand and can make decisions about adding sessions based on these numbers. We can also notify you if space becomes available.

My Learning, a learning portal powered by Bridge Learning Management System (LMS) software, is CSU’s new employee training dashboard for registration and tracking of supervisory and professional development classes. Starting Summer 2018, CSU employees are registering for classes through My Learning, which replaces our current registration system.

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!
