IP 2.19 Professional Development

In accordance with BP 3-65, Northeastern encourages employees to attend professional development activities such as trainings and conferences. All requests for professional development that are not grant funded are processed through the Human Resources Lead Team (HRLT) Committee. This committee meets once a month to review and vote on each submitted request.  To ensure that all are considered fairly, they consider several factors when voting. Among these are the number of approved requests in the past two years, content of the PD, application to the employee’s position, cost effectiveness, and overall budget.

A request for professional development is not a guarantee of approval.  Requests are considered on a first come, first serve basis, so please submit your request at least 30 days in advance.

With encouragement from my concurrent enrollment connections, I have become heavily involved on campus and was elected to be the current Associative Student Government President along with other leadership roles.

I came to Northeastern on a wrestling scholarship and have enjoyed every second of it. I loved the warm and welcoming attitudes the staff and students.

I've taken some hard courses that, at the beginning, I would never have thought I could ever get past. It's awesome how dedicated the professors here are!
