Talent Development's Four Themes
Self-Discovery
Team Effectiveness
Systems Thinking
Talent Development has been creating content around the four themes of Self-Discovery, Interpersonal Skills, Team Effectiveness and Systems Thinking. We are changing the name of our Interpersonal Skills theme to People-Centric Skills. Join us to learn about a people-centric mindset and how this shift can be beneficial to CSU employees. This change reflects our evolving workplace and the importance of emphasizing the focus on individuals at the heart of everything. We will still offer many of the same classes and expand our offerings to support this concept further.
Focus Certificate Topic Areas
The Talent Development Focus Certificates present learners additional professional development goals for which to strive.
