Financial Management provides the Fiscal Training and Development Program aimed at providing progressive training and certifications for fiscal support staff and business managers within the university community.
Finance has developed a finance training site with on-demand training opportunities, as well as registration for the Fiscal Training Program. The on-demand training opportunities instruct employees on their responsibilities, and the certificate programs provide the participants an opportunity to learn policy, procedures, data analytics, and presentations skills while collaborating with other finance employees around campus.
