The HR Employee Learning and Engagement team invites all employees to participate in virtual, in-person and self-paced learning experiences as part of the fall series.
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.
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.
