The New Wave of Opportunities Greetings from Organizational Excellence! Welcome to the Spring catalog. We have a new design that we hope you enjoy: the wave. You will begin to see the wave on many of OE’s materials, including this catalog and many of our flyers. It represents the wave of training opportunities that OE brings to Classified employees. Waves represent an influx of new ideas and energy. This is like the new live training classes that OE staff members have developed for Classified employees, including incredible office technical support and SAA training. OE also offers top-tier training from FranklinCovey. In addition, there are plenty of online training courses that have been added to My Professional Learning Network (MyPLN). This growth in training resources reflects the many ways that OE is supporting employees in their efforts to learn, whether it is in-person or online. In addition, the wave symbolizes an important decision. For many of our Classified employees this can mean the decision to go back to school or to pursue a promotion…or both. Luckily, OE has established partnerships with local colleges to bring professors from college campuses to LAUSD headquarters. This offers employees the chance to go back to school after work and on the weekends to get their AA, BA or Master’s Degree. To make this more affordable, OE offers annual tuition reimbursement that can cover part of the cost of school. This means that OE makes it easier for Classified employees to make the decision to continue their education and to work towards their promotion. We hope you like the new design. Please take a look at the numerous class offerings listed in this catalog that unlock opportunities for you at work or for your future aspirations. Remember to always Learn, Grow, and Succeed! Best, Rick Jyles Rick Jyles is a Multimedia Designer and member of Organizational Excellence. He has served the Los Angeles Unified School District for 14 years.
