Employee Learning Week

Employee Learning Week is an annual, global celebration of life-long learning in organizations. CU Boulder Human Resources is offering a free week of professional development opportunities for all CU Boulder employees. Join us for action-based sessions to gain strategies you can apply to your work and personal life today.

All sessions will encompass diversity and inclusion content.

“Over the last seven months—and long before that—I have been moved by your perseverance and ability to anchor yourselves in a process of learning and adaptation. Please use these resources to help you on your journey as you not only grow your career, but also learn new ways to manage stress and develop coping skills for this difficult time. If you continue to seek out opportunities for personal and professional development now and in the years to come, CU will emerge from this crisis even stronger in our mission to shape tomorrow’s leaders.”

Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano
