As 2025 approaches, what better time to set inspiring goals for your professional journey? University Human Resources and the Talent Development team invite you to explore the many learning resources available at UMD to help you kick off the new year strong.
Throughout 2024, we’ve featured a range of professional development opportunities that go beyond the usual classes and conferences. With LinkedIn Learning, you can access thousands of skill-building videos anytime, anywhere—perfect for fitting learning into your busy schedule. For those looking to deepen their expertise on specific topics, the USM Learning Video Archive brings past conference sessions directly to you, with a wealth of recorded workshops to revisit at your convenience.
The Office of Diversity & Inclusion (ODI) offers valuable training on creating more accessible and inclusive work environments, from planning accessible events to fostering spaces where everyone feels they belong. And if you haven’t explored the UMD Libraries yet, now’s the time! With over 4 million resources, the libraries offer much more than books—they provide e-journals, trade publications, workshops, and even access to high-tech tools in their Makerspace. Whether you’re looking for a quiet space to study or new ideas to apply on the job, the libraries have you covered.
An exciting development for 2025 is Workday Learning, a new platform that will become a one-stop-shop for finding, tracking, and managing training. You’ll be able to set goals, complete required training, and explore new learning opportunities, all from one easy-to-use hub.
