Learning and Development Training Opportunities

As WVU employees, we are all called upon to learn new skills, to work in new and different ways and to change direction at a moment's notice. These qualities are necessary so that we can keep up with the demands that will enable the University to continue to be successful. For that purpose, LOD offers three categories of learning and development training classes.
