Training

Multiple departments across the University offer training that is useful—or even essential—for business office employees. More and more training is being moved into UAccess Learning. But not all is there yet.

There is currently a project underway to develop a cross-department business office curriculum. For more on that project, visit the Business Office Curriculum Project page.

Not all of this training is appropriate or necessary for business office employees; however, business office employees are frequently responsible for helping other employees in their unit find appropriate training. Hopefully this list will help.
