Employee Training
VOC invests in training as an investment in staff, programs and the community as a whole. This year we began a training series for all staff titled ‘Feel Good 5.’ This training series focuses on a different topic each month. All staff receive a weekly email with a short video (5 minutes or less) and some discussion questions. Each staff member watches the video, then processes that video later with their supervisor or team. This allows for ongoing training and development that is attainable for everyone during this very unique time. Topics have included Self-Care, Teambuilding, Self Awareness, Customer Service, Giving and Receiving Feedback, and Managing Challenging Situations.
Other employee training opportunities include the Healing Racism Institute, two full days of intensive training that aligns with the work of VOC; Microsoft Outlook and Excel training which takes place over two sessions and includes assigning a mentor to each participant for additional one-on-one support; and Early Education and Care Department (EEC) Life is Good Playmaker training for all EEC staff, including teachers and home educators in this therapeutic play model.
