Reminder to Use Staff Professional Development Funds for 2017/18

By Melissa Baluk on February 8, 2018

As we approach the end of the fiscal year, we ask that you encourage staff in your departments/units to use their professional development funds. Staff PD funds are available for those in the following employee groups:

  • CUPE 116
  • CUPE 2950
  • Executive Administrative
  • Management & Professional (AAPS)
  • Non-Union Technicians & Research Assistants
  • Service Unit Directors/Excluded M&P
  • BCGEU Okanagan

The Staff Professional Development Funds at UBC are annual funding pools designed to support employees with staff appointments to pursue learning opportunities that will enhance their professional knowledge, work performance, and ongoing career growth at UBC.

Apply soon to access PD funds available for the 2017-2018 fiscal year. Staff are welcome to make claims on a first-come, first-served basis until the budgeted funding pool is exhausted or by the end of the fiscal year, whichever comes sooner. The amount you can claim depends on your employee group, as each group has its own funding pool subject to an annual budget allocation and program guidelines.

Based on claim patterns this year, it is anticipated that the budgeted PD funds will accommodate staff requests up until the March 31 year-end, with the exception of the M&P PD Fund for AAPS members (see below).

If you have already taken full advantage of your PD funds this fiscal year, new money will become available to you on April 1, 2018. If you have not used PD funds this fiscal year, note that they do not rollover; they will expire on March 31, 2018.

Notice: M&P PD Funds anticipated to run out prior to March 31, 2018, year-end

Prior to submitting a claim, M&P staff are encouraged to check the M&P PD Fund webpage for daily updates on the overall fund balance. When the funding pool balance reaches zero prior to March 31, no further PD claims will be accepted for reimbursement this current funding year.

Questions? Please contact pd.funds@ubc.ca.
