HIGHTSTOWN, N.J.–The New Jersey Credit Union League has received an $89,000 educational grant from the state of New Jersey to underwrite professional development training through a partnership with Rutgers University.
According to the league, it will provide grant-funded training for more than 250 credit union employees.
The training will have three tracks: “Human Resources Management,” “Supervisor Symposium,” and “Becoming a Better Manager,” the league said. “Each track consists of four modules that are four hours in length, and participating credit union employees will earn a certificate from Rutgers University upon completion,” the league said. “Training will be offered in small group sessions of 10-15 attendees at locations throughout the state, hosted at credit unions.”
According to the league, as part of its continuing focus on meeting operational needs of credit unions, a survey of its membership in August 2016 showed a need for professional development training. Based on the overwhelming response, the NJCUL said it partnered with the Office of Continuing Professional Education (OCPE) at Rutgers University on the grant application.
“One of the League’s top priorities is to provide compelling value to our members, by offering solutions that meet operational needs,” said NJCUL President/CEO David Frankil in a statement first published by the league on its website. “Through this training grant, we bring to our members the opportunity to train and certify staff with excellent instructors and high quality Rutgers OCPE professional development courses so that their credit unions can operate more efficiently and effectively. This and other new initiatives in 2017 demonstrate that we are a true strategic partner with our members, helping them grow and thrive.”
