Who We Are

As part of Southern @ 150: Building Excellence Through Commitment, Agility and Efficiency Task Forces were convenend to focus on reviewing university policies, procedures and practices in an effort to identify opportunities for improvement.  A common theme echoed from these reports: a need for training. 

The Center for Workforce Learning and Development (CWLD) was created to develop and implement a strategic response to the need for training across campus.  By identifying key organizational learning needs, integrating with other university strategies and supporting the achievement of university goals, we will help improve the knowledge and skills of our employee population.  Through needs analysis, program design and multi-media workshop presentations we invest in the success of our most critical university resource - our employees.
