IN-HOUSE COURSES If you wish to register for a workshop outlined in this calendar, please obtain approval from your supervisor and then register on the Intra- net under the training calendar. As class size is limited, registration will be on a first come, first served basis. Once the course is full, additional names will be added to a wait list and employ- ees will be notified in the event of a cancella- tion. Additional courses may be added in the event of a high demand. EXTERNAL COURSES Employees interested in attending an external training program are required to complete an online staff training request form. These forms are available on the Intranet under online forms/request forms. Once your Manager has approved or declined the course, the estimated turn-a-round time for notification from HR is 5 business days. External courses must fit within the scope of your professional development plan that has been discussed with your Manag- er and meet the City’s current and projected needs. Please ensure you have reviewed your course objectives with your Manager before you complete the form for submission to HR. For multi-course programs (certificates,

degrees and masters, etc.) you are required to complete an expression of interest that will be reviewed by your Manager, Director and in some cases, your General Manager.

CUSTOMIZED COURSES If there are course offerings that you believe should be offered to your team, please con- tact Anita Bhandari.
