Professional Development Training Opportunities

In an effort to provide more Professional Development Opportunities for our employees, State Extension Specialists are offering subject-matter based online trainings each month (excluding June and July).

These trainings will be offered via Centra and are available to anyone wishing to participate. The trainings will generally be held on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 10:30 AM and will last approximately 1 hour.

When 4-H is conducting the training, the presentations will be on the 2nd Thursday of the month during their usual Centra Training timeslot. Other trainings may be rescheduled if necessary.

Presentations will be achieved in Centra and available for viewing at a later date.
