COVID-19 Staff Professional Development Opportunities

COVID-19Staff Professional Development Opportunities

Welcome to your list of professional development (PD) opportunities and resources! We are here to help you continue engaging in PD, whether you are an essential employee working on campus or working from home.

We recognize that we have diverse technology capabilities and access. We have designed these resources to meet these diverse needs.

Two Types of PD

There are two general types of PD available to you during this time. With approval from your supervisor, both types of PD can count towards your paid work hours. As you would on the job, please seek prior approval from your supervisor to ensure the time you spend learning with these resources will count towards your paid work hours. Select one of the tabs below for information and examples of each type.

Virtual Staff PD Organized by TCC

TCC will be offering PD virtually this spring quarter. This means we will not be facilitating in-person PD sessions but instead offering PD via video conference or other virtual methods. You'll see some similar types of opportunities, such as workshops and book clubs, that you would see if we were working in person.

Here are some examples of the types of PD you can access virtually during this time: 

  • Workshops (held via Zoom video conference)
  • Remote learning (organized by a department/division, such as EDI)
  • Wellness activities (such as mindfulness sessions)
  • Art History Book Club (the same monthly sessions as before but now online!)
  • ...and more!

Virtual Staff PD NOT Organized by TCC

Thanks to TCC's OER Librarian, Jennifer Snoek-Brown, and many of you who have been sending opportunities, we have other, non-TCC organized PD opportunities. This means TCC will not be facilitating or managing the content for these opportunities. We recommend verifying with your supervisor that the opportunities you select from this list will count as paid work time. Your supervisor will be your point-of-contact to verify your participation and ensure you get paid for the hours you participate in this type of PD.

Here are some examples of the types of PD you can access remotely during this time: 

  • Printable PDFs to work on from home
  • Online courses
  • Webinars
  • ...and more!
