In an effort to streamline the approval process for professional development requests (PDP), ITS: will be returning to a two times per year review of them with the following schedule:
- Fall requests need to be submitted to your supervisor by June 1 (for this year, as we are late in notifying you, you’ll have until June 30 to submit).
- Spring/summer requests need to be submitted to your supervisor by December 1.
By submitting requests this way, it will be easier to manage budget resources, make sure we have adequate people coverage across our departments, and plan for our own individual times away from the office.
Off-schedule requests will still be considered, but the expectation is that these will be the rare exception and not the rule.
To submit a PDP request, please fill in the PDP Request Form (found on the i: drive in the “Forms” folder, titled “PDP_Request_Form”) and submit it to your supervisor. All requests are reviewed by leadership as soon as possible so your supervisor can quickly get a response back to you.
If you have any questions about the schedule or how to submit a PDP request, please let Linda or your supervisor know.
Thank you everyone!
ITS:Always fun, never boring
Respectfully submitted,
Linda Petro
