Within Facilities Management, a wide range of technical skills are employed to allow us to operate as one of the best facilities in the Big Ten. Staff Development partners with each unit to determine the skill needs and provide training, when appropriate, to improve the effectiveness of our work.

Some examples of technical training include:

Classroom Instruction
Asbestos Certification
Backflow Certification
Benchmark Roof Seminar
Refrigeration Services Engineers Society (RSES) Curriculum
Schimberg Steam Seminar

Descriptions of technical training sessions state whether they are computer based or are scheduled as the need arises. Some are offered repeatedly while others may only be offered annually or semi-annually.  Managers contact Darlene Clausen to arrange attendance.

For office technical skills and computer skills, go to the SkillSoft site.  SkillSoft courses are available free to all UI staff. 
Follow the directions for signing on.  If you have trouble signing to take the SkillSoft courses, contact Darlene Clausen at 335-5115.
