TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

One of the many benefits of working for OSU is access to training courses designed specifically for our workforce. Classes are held in Stillwater and Tulsa. Most are open to any OSU staff or faculty member.

Training Opportunities on Tulsa Campuses
A list of seminars scheduled for 2007-08 at OSU campuses in Tulsa is below. From time-to-time, it may be necessary to modify this schedule. For instance, we expect to add more classes throughout the year. To stay informed of the courses being offered, we encourage you to bookmark and check this site regularly.

Important Guideline:
"No shows" or cancellations made less than 24 hours before a class will result in a $20 charge to the enrollee's department. Please help us avoid using this guideline by canceling your reservation in a timely manner should you be unable to attend a course in which you have enrolled. Stillwater requires 48 hours notice if you must cancel.

We encourage you to enroll as soon as possible for courses in which you are interested. Early enrollment assists us in ensuring that a class does not have to be cancelled due to low enrollment and that a seat is available for you in the class of your choice.

Attention Supervisors!
Some courses such as QBQ, True Colors and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator can be scheduled for your individual department. Contact Sandy Cooper at 594-8222 to discuss your specific needs.

Course Descriptions

Armchair Traveler Series NEW !

Various Presenters

We may not exactly have armchairs for you to sit in, but we will have a variety of individuals from

different cultures and countries to share interesting information about our diverse world. Bring your

lunch and take a trip you might otherwise never make while exploring other countries, backgrounds,

people and cultures!

Dates to be announced via e-mail

Art of Giving Feedback NEW !

Marsha Kennedy, Human Resources

Elective for Leadership Development and Advanced Leadership Programs

Giving feedback to others in a way that they are able to “hear” what you are saying is one of

supervisor’s most difficult tasks. In this interactive class, we will cover the basics of how to give

feedback, and then spend the remaining time practicing the skills. This class fulfills the performance

review training requirement for supervisors who have previously attended “Performance Reviews 101”

(formerly named “Conducting Performance Reviews”).

Scheduled for September 11
