Staff Development Days

Join us for Staff Development Days, our reimagined staff training and development conference!

This two-day event provides training and professional development for Clark College classified, part-time, and administrative/exempt staff. Classes will remain in session, but all business offices will close to the public to allow all staff the chance to participate. Faculty are welcome to voluntarily participate as their schedule allows.

What to expect:

This annual event provides an opportunity for reconnection and development - time for refreshing our skills, meeting new faces at the college, and learning about all of the changes that different departments have gone through. This year, look forward to an exciting keynote, updated PPI trainings, opportunities to complete required Supervisor Trainings, space for updated headshot photos, and the introduction of "microlearning" sessions - short sessions designed to hone in on specialized skills!

Schedule

Sessions will be held between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. each day in person on Clark College's main campus.

Location

With the restrictions lifting, we are looking forward to meeting in person again on Clark College's main campus. Lunch will be provided for both days of the event.

Unfortunately, due to staffing shortages and other logistical purposes, we won’t be offering virtual options at this year’s conference. Session slides and handouts are available up above.

Important Reminders

Don’t forget to bring a mask, water bottle, handheld fan, sunscreen or anything else to help you stay comfortable and well during the event. We will have flyers to help you navigate the water refill stations on campus.
