New IT Professional Development Site
IT Services is launching a professional development SharePoint site accessible to all U of A accounts. The new site features a variety of learning resources, including but not limited to, Microsoft Learn, Educause, LinkedIn Learning - which will be featured more heavily in Arkansas News later this week - and UARK Libraries.
The IT Professional Development site (ITPD) is designed to help anyone interested in learning a new skill, brushing up on an old skill or opening opportunities for advancement. While many of the resources and training lessons available are centered around technology, there will also be various general resources listed as they become available.
The ITPD site is a useful resource for creating a professional development plan - whether updating it or just getting one started. Templates are available on the site to be used as a guide for creating an individualized path to professional development. The university invites employees to engage in professional development opportunities to strengthen and build their own skillset and knowledge.
The ITPD site will be updated regularly to accommodate new courses and resources that become available, so be sure to visit frequently for the most recent and up-to-date content. Recommendations for professional development training materials or resources to be included on the site can be sent to Shelly Walters, technology solutions manager, at saw034@uark.edu.
