Can I get training on work time?
UPTE won 40 hours paid leave time per year for job-related training. You can schedule this leave with your supervisor.
Who pays for my training?
The University offers many staff development classes. While UC does not have to pay for these classes, your supervisor will often agree to it.
You can also take up to 3 regular UC classes per quarter at 1/3 the cost. You can also ask for your supervisor to pay for this but this occurs less frequently.
What training are you interested in?
UPTE is evaluating what training needs our members have and is developing programs for additional training opportunities. What are you interested in? Email the UPTE President with your suggestions.
