Re-Imagining U
Re-Imagining U is a collaborative employee learning and development program managed by the Human Resources office at UNMC.
Program participants have the opportunity to customize their learning and skill development in a way that is right for them. Re-Imagining U courses are offered repetitively over two semesters each year. Content is derived from needs indicated for employees and leaders in our current strategic vision and employee engagement surveys. Courses are either individual or cohort format for deeper learning.
Please access the Bridge Learning Management System to register for courses.
FAQs
The Learning Library can be found on the Bridge registration platform. Registrations may be limited for some courses, but the majority of courses are open enrollment. Cohort courses do require attendance at all classes where all other classes are a one-time only meeting.
Courses in the Learning Library will list room locations. In the registration system, you will receive a registration confirmation in Outlook. You will also find the Zoom information housed in the registration details in the Bridge Learning Library. Courses are online and/or online/in-person.
Reviewing your development goals and plans with your leader is always a great idea. At a minimum, in order to ensure adequate coverage of business needs, be sure your manager approves your attendance prior to registering.
UNMC Employees: Log in to Bridge from the Learning Library, view Re-Imagining U for course selection.
