Academic Staff
Every semester, Organizational & Talent Development Department publishes a new continuing education program for all WU employees. In a variety of formats - from short expert dialogs to workshops lasting several days - you have the opportunity to work intensively and in a highly practice-oriented manner in small groups on areas relevant to you. As an employee, you decide together with your manager which workshops in the training program are of added value to you. Participation is free of charge and takes place during your working hours.
