Search Committee Training
This short training video for System Offices search committee members aims to foster diversity, equity, inclusion, compliance, and best practices in our search process. This training is required for anyone that serves on a System Office search committee. You do not need to view the training each time you are on a search committee, but will be expected to take a refresher every two years. After viewing the training video, hiring managers and search committee members should:
- have a deeper understanding of the System Offices’ search process; and,
- learn tips and strategies to find the best candidates; and,
- understand their role as a search committee member; and,
- identify ways to avoid biases; and,
- implement best practices for interviewing; and,
- become aware of federal and state laws that impact recruiting and selection.
Take the System Offices Search Committee Training.

Values and the Role They Have in Your Life
Values are fundamental beliefs that guide or motivate actions and decisions. When you live by your values, life is usually good and you feel content. When you don’t follow your values, or maybe you’re not sure what your values are, life can feel out of whack and lead to unhappiness. Through a series of exercises, you will learn how to identify your core values and the importance of the role they play in your life.
