What is a Training and Development
certificate and how will achieving one benefit me?
The Office of Human Resources at St. John’s University is pleased
to provide staff and administrators with the opportunity to
significantly enhance their professional development through three
Training and Development Certificate Programs. The programs offer a
curriculum of Core and Elective workshops for which employees earn
professional development units (PDUs) and work toward receipt of a
framed Certificate of Completion and a special year-end
luncheon.

What is IMS?
IMS is the Institute for
Management Studies, an organization that provides professional
development offerings for St. John’s supervisors, managers and
administrators. The Institute for Management Studies (IMS) offers
one-day professional development workshops throughout the year on a
variety of topics.
Since St. John’s has limited internal resources, these programs
will supplement the current in-house programs and help to create an
organization of strong leaders and foster an environment of
life-long learning.
