New Staff Webinars is a recently developed series that invites newly hired ISU Extension and Outreach staff the opportunity to learn more about the topics presented during the 1-day Staff Orientation event held in April and September.
Leaders from across the organization will present h for a 50-minute virtual session. During this session, speakers will go into more depth on various topics and answer questions, providing new employees with a clearer understanding of our organization.

The intended audience for this series is new ISU Extension and Outreach staff, but these webinars are open to ALL Extension and Outreach staff, council members, and volunteers who would find the content beneficial. Sessions will also be recorded and archived on the professional development webpage.
Again, this does NOT replace our bi-annual in-person orientation events. This is a pilot opportunity to provide additional support, and depending on interest and participant response, it will be offered again in 2023. For more information about the webinars, contact Alison DePenning.
