Colgate University supports the professional development of its staff by offering training opportunities both on and off campus.

Throughout the year, employees are invited to attend workshops and seminars brought to campus to enhance the development of skills and provide professional growth opportunities. If you have a need for training that is not covered here, please contact the Human Resources Department for assistance.
