Professional Development directly supports Montana State University Extension and Outreach’s stragegic plan, aligning the skills of our professionals with the needs of our organization. We conceptualize, design, research and present development opportunities that will motivate, challenge, strengthen and enlighten staff across counties and reservations, and campus-paid staff and faculty. MSU Extension sees value in both peer- and expert-delivered professional development, through:
- increased skillsets.
- expanding a network of experts.
- time saving.
- learning to benefit local, specific needs.
- fostering a growth and improvement mindset for new ideas.
