Business Challenge

Cal Poly Humboldt offers a wide range of professional development opportunities through multiple departments, systems, and campus initiatives. New employees often lacked a clear understanding of where to find training resources, how to complete required compliance courses, and what opportunities existed for ongoing career development. The university needed a centralized onboarding resource that would simplify this information and encourage a culture of continuous learning.

Learning Solution

I designed an engaging e-learning module that introduces employees to the university’s professional development ecosystem. The course guides learners through CSU Learn, instructor-led training, compliance requirements, newsletters, Skillshops, the Center for Teaching and Learning, and the CSU Fee Waiver Program, helping employees understand both mandatory training and voluntary opportunities for professional growth.

Project Highlights

  • Introduced campus-wide professional development resources in a single learning experience.
  • Explained required compliance training and optional learning opportunities.
  • Guided employees through the CSU Learn learning management system.
  • Highlighted career development programs, workshops, and continuing education benefits.
  • Simplified navigation across multiple university departments and training resources.
  • Encouraged a culture of continuous learning and career advancement.

Impact

The course gave new employees a clear roadmap for accessing learning opportunities from their first days on campus. By consolidating information from several departments into one onboarding experience, it reduced confusion, increased awareness of available resources, and helped employees locate required training more efficiently. 

Beyond compliance, the module reinforced the university’s commitment to employee development by showcasing optional learning opportunities, certification resources, and educational benefits that support long-term career growth within the CSU system.
