Note:
Engineers, Custodians, and Staff Assistants are invited to attend any or all of these training sessions.  The training times have been scheduled to coincide  with Groundskeeper work shifts, and to best allow both day and swing shift to attend at their option.  Should any optional attendees wish to attend a training session, prior arrangements with their immediate supervisor to modify that day's working hours will be necessary.  Release time for day shift staff who wish to attend Engineer training will not be provided, in an effort toward fairness in making optional career advancement training accessible for all Facilities employees.
