Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has partnered with the California State University Chancellor's Office to offer a variety of training and educational opportunities to our staff. The Systemwide Professional Development Program focuses on topics that build supervisory and management skills and address common challenges in the higher education workplace. Training opportunities include one-day seminars at a variety of locations around the state, focused training offered at our campus, and web-based subscription training. The Cal Poly Human Resources office, acting as liaison with the Chancellor's Office, will provide information to the campus regarding available training opportunities, answer general questions, and coordinate the "e-learning" on-line program.
In addition, most employees of Cal Poly are eligible to participate in the Fee Waiver Program, which gives eligible faculty and staff employees the opportunity to attend classes at CSU campuses at greatly reduced rates. Eligible employees who do not wish to take advantage of the Fee Waiver benefit may transfer the benefit to a spouse, domestic partner, or dependent child, in accordance with the appropriate bargaining unit contract.
