Workshops

Organization and Staff Development offers skill-building workshops on a variety of topics that are designed to help individuals and groups enhance their effectiveness. OSD trainers have been selected for their skills and experience in delivering workshops that are relevant and engaging.

OSD offers training workshops in two formats: Open and In-House.

Open workshops

Open workshops are scheduled for dates and locations determined by OSD and advertised in this program guide and on the OSD website. These workshops are open to individual registrations by anyone who is interested—you do not have to be an employee of the Manitoba Civil Service.

This registration guide is printed once a year, but new workshop dates are added regularly.

In-House workshops

Most OSD workshops can also be delivered directly to your organization on an in-house basis. The in-house option is worth considering if any of the following conditions apply:

1. You have 14 or more people who need the same training;
2. You have 12 or more people who need the same training, and you are located outside of Winnipeg;
3. You need the training to happen evenings or weekends;
4. You want your group to learn together so they can reflect on common experiences and support one another in applying new skills;
5. You want the workshop customized to meet the particular needs of your organization. (Customization may add to the cost of the workshop.)

In-house workshops can be arranged by calling OSD at 945-2276. Our expert staff will work with you to clarify your learning needs and match you with the right facilitator and curriculum.

With an in-house workshop, you pay a group fee rather than an individual registration fee for each participant. You also play a role in setting up the workshop for your group. Here’s how it works:

OSD will provide:

1. a skilled Trainer/Facilitator
2. Trainer/Facilitator’s laptop and PowerPoint presentation
3. participant manuals, handouts and any other training tools

As the workshop host, you will be expected to provide:

1. 12- 24 committed participants (maximum number varies according to workshop)
2. appropriate training space to accommodate maximum number of participants
3. LCD Projector and screen
4. extension cord for the LCD projector and laptop hook up
5. small table for the trainer’s laptop and materials
6. 2 flip chart easels with paper  and markers
7. TV/VCR/DVD  (on occasion)
8. muffins/pastries, coffee, tea, water
   
   

You know what you want but don’t see it listed?

OSD can also design new training material to meet your requirements. OSD can match your organization with an experienced training consultant to design and deliver new workshops.  Cost for this service depends on the size and scope of the project.
