FAQs
Re-Imagining U has courses to meet the needs of every employee regardless of where they are in their development journey. They are offered in different levels to help you easily identify the right courses for you.
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, we are currently a hybrid/virtual program. In the new 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. Currently courses are online and/or online/in-person. Registrants will receive a Zoom link to view the course accompanied by two reminders.
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.
