Staff Development Online Application
The 2022-2023 Staff Development Application is closed due to staff development funds being expended.
Staff will be notified if there are any unused monies.
If you have any questions, please email the Staff Development Committee at business@louisville.edu.
Funds are not available to pay tuition for course academic credit, books for an academic credit course, trips that are a component of an academic degree program, etc. Each staff member is eligible for up to $2500, which can be one lump sum or several smaller requests. If any monies are left over, it is possible that additional partial or full awards might be given. ***Applications will be accepted after the deadline depending on available funds. Please spell out complete conference, seminar, or training title including acronyms. Also, please include a link to the conference website as well as attach a hard copy of the conference information, i.e., registration, dates, etc. If this information is not available at the time of applying for the conference, include a link and/or hard copy to the conference information from the previous year.
Please estimate all expenses as closely as possible. If costs exceed the $2500 a staff member is eligible for, the staff member will need to provide an email from their supervisor to confirm additional funds are available to cover the additional costs.
Note: Staff members are permitted to apply for staff development funds during the Provisional Period (first six months of employment in the College of Business).
The Staff Development Committee recommends COB staff participate in local and virtual/online classes, workshops, training, as well as seminars or other offerings provided by COB Executive Education.
Development funds should be used for opportunities to learn and grow your skill sets. Classes/workshops that address physical and emotional stress are encouraged. Your well-being is important to the College of Business.
