The Center for Learning & Professional Development
The Center for Learning & Professional Development (CLPD) is the central training department for New Mexico State University faculty, staff, and student workers.
We contribute to the NMSU (New Mexico State University) mission developing yearly priorities. Our 2024 priorities include fostering workplace learning for employees (new and existing), division, department, and units by:
- Identifying, assessing, and developing essential competencies which contribute to effective and efficient workplace culture.
- Providing employees, units, departments, and divisions, with services, tools, and resources that contribute to a positive workplace culture.
- Empowering high-potential and high-performing employees with leadership development opportunities.
Mission
Never Stop Learning!
Our Method
 |
When attending workshops offered by CLPD, participants will know, learn, and grow. This graphic represents our primary method when delivering learning activities for employees. Assess. First, we identify what the participant knows and what the participant wants to learn when they attend a workshop or training session. Challenge. Then, we challenge participants to explore new ways (research-based/best practices) to approach the learning activity. Engage. Next, we provide time for the participants to practice what is learned or share thoughts and ideas. Assess Again. After the learning experience is over, we will assess what the person has learned and how they plan to use the information moving forward. Support. We support the learner throughout the experience. |
