HRD administers the Educational Assistance benefit for employees taking non-credit and/or college courses and administers the processing of Course Fee Courtesy benefit for support staff.
HRD Catalog Classes
Each year HRD offers approximately 180 catalog classes to meet the training and development needs of the MSU support staff community. Ideas for these classes come from a variety of sources. Needs assessments, conducted every other year, help identify staff professional development needs. The results of these assessments guide the development of the catalog class schedule. Additionally, literature reviews and web searches identify timely and important topics to be developed into classes. Ideas for classes are always welcome. Contact Edita Herbstova with input on new HRD class topics.
Departmental Programming
Contact Edita Herbstova or Dawn Hecker to discuss your departmental programming needs. HRD catalog classes can be brought to departments or customized programs can be designed to meet specific needs.
