Human Resources is pleased to announce its professional development schedule for spring 2024. Seminars are free and open to all UNLV employees. Each seminar will include a combination of presentations, discussions, and active learning to create an engaging environment. All of the seminars listed will take place in person to allow employees an opportunity to connect face-to-face with colleagues across campus.
Given recent events, we will approach all seminars with sensitivity. We acknowledge that external factors may impact individuals differently, and we want to assure you that your well-being is our top priority. We encourage open communication. If at any point you feel uncomfortable or need support please don't hesitate to let us know.
