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 employees with the opportunity to significantly
enhance their professional development through two Training and
Development Certificate Programs. The programs offer a curriculum
of Core and Elective workshops through which employees work toward
receipt of a framed Certificate of Completion along with a
personalized plaque awarded during a special graduation
ceremony.
The two program tracks include one for one for staff
and administrators and one for managers. The Certificate
Programs support the University’s strategic goal to build an
organization of strong leaders where faculty, administrators and
staff are enabled, motivated and engaged. The programs also
directly support the Development Plan component of the University’s
performance management system, Partnership for Performance (PFP),
by creating a clear path for professional growth for each
employee.

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.
