STAR Program invites applications for professional development opportunity

Human Resources is partnering with the Professional Development Committee of CSSAC (Campus Support Staff Advisory Committee) to introduce the STAR Program, a dynamic professional development program created to empower growth for employees in the professional, operational support and skilled trades career streams.

Applications for the inaugural quarter of the program, which will establish a 25-person cohort, will open Friday (May 23) and be accepted through June 13. The program will begin June 25.

Participants must be employed at Purdue for a minimum of one year prior to applying. Management-level employees are not eligible for this program but are encouraged to participate in the supervisor training.

The application will be completed via DocuSign. For instructions on accessing it, review the Quick Reference Guide.

The goals for participants of the program are to:

• Expand workforce staff capabilities to accelerate career growth and advancement
• Embark on a collaborative learning journey and gain knowledge, skills and competencies, all personalized to individual mastery levels
• Encounter new people, opportunities and resources designed to position them for a successful future
