Description
GÉANT Learning & Development (GLAD) is here for YOU! We work with all Work Packages, equipping teams with new knowledge and skills, encouraging continual professional development and enabling you to share your expertise with the Research & Education community. We are keen to innovate and find new ways to generate relevant and engaging opportunities for you to learn and grow. Taking advantage of this fantastic opportunity to talk face-to-face, we would like to hear your ideas and suggestions, so we can continue our fruitful collaboration with GN5-1 Project contributors. Who is this session for? This highly-interactive session is intended for active Project contributors at all levels - with a particular focus on those who co-ordinate teams or who have specialist knowledge to share. From Work Package and Task Leaders, Product / Services Managers and Subject Matter Experts, to those with a passion for learning and great ideas! What will you learn? The three-part session will include the following: 1) Learning at your fingertips… We are often asked how people can learn “on the job”. Here we will showcase the rich range of learning opportunities at your fingertips, from live, instructor-led training on new technologies, security and presentation skills, through to eLearning on network automation and Product Lifecycle Management, there is something for everyone. 2) NEW for 2024! We are excited to launch the GÉANT Mentoring Programme in 2024! As part of GÉANT’s commitment to enhancing gender equality, this programme will be designed to equip women with the network, resources and opportunities to grow their careers in technology. As the programme finds its feet, we hope to roll it out to a wider audience, equipping people of all ages with the tools, skills and confidence to develop their careers. *There will (we hope) be a parallel session devoted solely to discussing the GÉANT Mentoring Programme. Here we will give a high-level overview only. 3) YOUR ideas… This is your platform! We will devote plenty of time to generating ideas and capturing your suggestions about how we could make learning work best for you. This could include anything from using new platforms and technologies to co-creating new initiatives or improving existing services. What would you like to see more or less of? What one thing could make the greatest difference to you and your colleagues? Come and tell us! We will also invite you to consider what learning might help you achieve your objectives in 2024. From previous years’ experience, we know that the earlier you request GLAD’s support, the more chance that your objectives can be achieved in the timeline you hope for, as it gives us more time to consult and create meaningful solutions, or promote your training event so that it reaches the right audience. Your feedback will help us formulate plans for 2024 and beyond to GN5-2. Please join us! Come and play a role in shaping learning for the future.
