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 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 along with a personalized plaque
awarded during a special graduation ceremony.
The three program tracks available include one for staff, one
for 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.
