This section features Learning & Development programs presented by University Human Resources:
New Employee Orientation
The orientation process for new university employees is multi-faceted. Learn about OSU Orientation Essentials, check out the Campus Onboarding Guide, and register for an upcoming Orientation session.
OSU Critical Training Program
The mandatory OSU Critical Training Program prepares faculty, staff, graduate assistants, and student employees to contribute to OSU vision, mission and values, and to conduct themselves ethically, with the highest integrity, and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and policies.
Crucial Conversations for Mastering Dialogue
A Crucial Conversation is a discussion between two or more people where stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong. These conversations, when handled poorly (or not at all), lead to strained relationships with dismal results.
Foursight Mindset Reveal
Creativity is an essential skill that is innate in all of us – but each of us will approach a challenge differently. Do you know what your problem-solving preferences are, or how to leverage the thinking styles of others? The goal of this workshop is to help you discover your thinking preferences and reflect on how to leverage them to overcome barriers and increase successful collaboration.
Search Advocate Program
OSU's Search Advocate program enhances equity, validity, and diversity in university hiring. Search Advocates are OSU faculty, staff, and students who are trained as search and selection process advisors.
Social Justice Education Initiative Program
The Social Justice Education Initiative for faculty and staff at Oregon State University is an invitation to begin, or continue, your social justice and equity journey.
Training for OSU Supervisors
