Implementation
The Training & Professional Development Department
offers several in-service trainings each month.
In addition, the director of the program
notifies department managers of upcoming trainings in the
community, and helps employees seek funding to attend these
trainings.
The department also encourages agency
employees to try out their presentation skills, and
accepts proposals from agency employees who are interested in
conducting training for the agency.
St. Catherine’s conducts on-going analysis
of the training program’s effectiveness, and individual and
departmental training needs through the completion of training
evaluation forms, Continuous Quality Improvement reviews and an
annual analysis of the program.
