CPM External Development Fund
The CPM External Development Fund is a valuable source for eligible CPMs to receive partial financial assistance to aid in their pursuit of external development. This development may include training courses, conferences, workshops or other skills development training directly related to the CPM employee’s current job or directly related to his/her potential career path at the University. This fund is administered through the department of Talent Acquisition & Development, Human Resources.
Please note that funds are limited and are available on a first come, first served basis.
