The Learning and Talent Development team within the Office of Human Resources offers several professional development opportunities to UW–Madison employees. Our team offers these courses in various formats and locations across campus.
When you attend a course, you can expect to experience a number of things, starting with one of our core principles which is: working with you to create healthy, inclusive, and engaging work environments.

Course Information
Prior to your session, your facilitator(s) will contact you via email and/or a calendar invite and may provide course materials at that time for preparation. After the session, you will receive a course evaluation via email, and your facilitator(s) may provide additional resources to support your learning journey.
Participation Formats
Whether in-person or virtual sessions, you can expect to participate in the following ways:
- Individual reflections.
- Small-group discussions.
- Large-group discussions.
- Workplace scenario applications.
Our Virtual Learning Spaces
Our virtual learning sessions are hosted through Zoom. We do not record sessions and do not allow participants to record sessions. To have the best experience possible, we strongly recommend that you:
- Use a computer device (not a phone or tablet).
- Reserve a private, quiet location where you and other participants can speak freely. An alternative would be to wear headphones for privacy.
- Have your camera on as much as possible.
- Participate in small and large group discussions using a microphone.
- Review UW–Madison’s Zoom KB best practices. Be familiar with Zoom’s annotation and chat features and make any necessary updates to your Zoom account before the course.
- Test out your technology before your course.
