The purpose of the Professional Development function at NOVA is to help every employee of the college to be successful in their work, both individually and collectively.

All employees, from senior executives to the newest part-timers have to grow in their roles and improve their skills and knowledge, work relationships, work systems, tools and processes. The reason for this is because as good as we are collectively today, that will not be enough for the needs of our community next year, much less in the years ahead. Our collective best must continue to get better. The Human Resources Professional Development Unit is leading this pursuit.
