Charge
To be a catalyst for scholarship and innovation at the University of Illinois in a constantly changing environment, the University Library workforce needs access to training, development, and enrichment opportunities that promote continuous learning and self-development.
The Organization Development and Training Advisory Committee comprises inclusive membership across Library units, areas of responsibility and employee classifications/ranks to help develop a broad understanding of training and career development needs across the Library.
Through collaboration and discussion, the committee strives to
- identify and promote training and development opportunities of value to Library employees
- prioritize common or shared training needs that could be more effectively addressed at the organization level
- provide recommendations about strategies, policies, and technologies that enable workplace learning to be more effective, widely available, and accessible to all Library employees
- support a consistent and systematic approach to training, including planning, implementation, and evaluation
The committee ultimately seeks to promote a culture of learning and empowerment that helps all Library employees succeed.
