Mission:
Our mission is to curate and offer high quality learning & organizational development resources and make them easily accessible to all lab employees.
Berkeley Lab staff often aren’t aware of the breadth of development and training that is available to them—in many cases free of charge. From from technical training to development of managers and leaders – training may be in a classroom, a conference setting, face-to-face, online, or customized for you.
