Workshops cover a variety of topics ranging from computer and Microsoft skills to mental health and wellbeing. The first session on how to be a proactive leader begins at 9 a.m. on Aug. 25. The series concludes Nov. 18 with a session on communication. The complete schedule can be found on the Learning and Development webpage.
