The Staff Development Program recognises that staff may have special needs. When participants receive their 'Confirmation of Enrolment' letter they are asked to notify Staff Development of any special needs.

The University Staff Development Committee has allocated funds for mandatory staff development for staff located outside the four main University campuses, if that mandatory training is not offered at their location. For further information please refer to the criteria and read the instructions carefully.

The University Staff Development Committee (USDC) undertakes an annual review of the Staff Development Program (SDP). Part of the review of the PEOPLE category revealed that the concept of a ‘series’ has resulted in an over inflated demand on the non-mandatory courses in a series. When investigated further, the feedback from many staff was that they felt they needed to complete courses, even when they did not benefit their workplace practice, just to complete the series and gain the certificate. The ‘certificate’ resulting from the completion of a series is not a formal document and in fact a transcript from training reports is a more valid representation of completed training.
To generate a transcript from training reports contact your local HR office.

Mandatory courses will still remain but there will no longer be any series in the PEOPLE category of the SDP.

The University Staff Development Committee wishes all staff the very best in discovering their potential and achieving their career goals.

Please refer to the University map for other Staff Development venue locations.

The Staff Development Program is growing in popularity and size and some courses have restricted numbers. Please be considerate to others who may be wait-listed by contacting Staff Development as early as possible if you cannot attend a course, via either email staffdev@uq.edu.au or phone on 336 52666, 336 53019 or 336 53238.

As well as seeking participants' feedback at the end of each course the University Staff Development Committee (USDC) may seek feedback from supervisors to gauge the benefit of staff development courses and ways participants have been able to apply their learning in the workplace.
