TRAINING & CAREER WORKSHOPS
Check out all the new professional development workshops in Grad Navigate. TAs – it can take up to two weeks before your attendance is recorded and you are credited with your paid training hours. This is because this process is manual and time-consuming. You are strongly encouraged to track your progress independently of the TA Management System in order to ensure its accuracy. In the event of a discrepancy, you are responsible for ensuring your training is captured in Carleton Central.
You can also access online training through MyGradSkills.ca. Please note that these online training modules do not count towards paid training hours for TAs.
