Professional development

ASU supports staff and faculty’s professional development through many different programs meant to support you at your current career level. 

All ASU employees are eligible for up to 24 hours of professional development training each calendar year. Some of these development opportunities are offered by Leadership and Workforce Development. Some of those programs are:

  • Career EDGE – more than 14,000 online and in-person ASU and LinkedIn Learning courses. These include mandatory job training and professional development.
  • Emerging Supervisor Pathway – a self-paced, semester-long training program for employees with little or no supervisor experience. Completion of the program equates to one year of supervisory experience for potential promotion opportunities at ASU.
