Participate in professional development and learning experiences this semester through HR Employee Learning and Engagement

The HR Employee Learning and Engagement team invites you to participate in virtual, in-person and self-paced learning experiences.  

ELE unlocks the potential of every Vanderbilt employee by offering innovative and meaningful learning experiences, creating space to foster conversations and connections and encouraging a culture of learning and growth. Our vision is for every employee to feel connected and integral to Vanderbilt’s mission, empowered to invest in themselves and succeed in their role, engaged in the campus community and inspired to design their best future.   

Subscribe to the Rooted in Learning newsletter to learn about upcoming professional development opportunities offered through Human Resources. 

We welcome you to engage with us during our live virtual learning experiences, designed exclusively for our Vanderbilt community and led by our ELE team. We know that on some days, you are ready to fully participate in breakout room discussions and activities, while on others, you may want to participate more passively. Our participation levels will guide you in selecting learning opportunities that are a good fit for you, your schedule and your energy. Below, participation levels are indicated by 1* (Consume & Consider), 2* (Comment & Connect), or 3* (Collaborate & Create).
