Take advantage of fall training opportunities

UF Training & Organizational Development has released its fall 2026 schedule of courses. In addition to exploring courses thematically via the UFHR website, you can also visit the digital training calendar to view upcoming trainings scheduled throughout the month.

Beginning Spring 2027, there will be a temporary reduction in course offerings as the Training and Organizational Development (T&OD) team prepares for the University of Florida’s transition to Workday. Courses in the Thrive@UF program will not be available for the year 2027. Employees pursuing this certificate are encouraged to consider this reduction when planning their professional development. The normal schedule will resume in Spring 2028.
