The Bulldogs United in Learning Drake (BUILD) program is strong.  But, as is typically the case, there is always room for improvement. While we will continue many of the BUILD training and educational opportunities familiar to you this upcoming academic year, Human Resources is looking at short and long-term improvements to the BUILD program to better serve the needs and interests of our employees.

Some of the comments in the 2021 Great Colleges to Work For survey indicate a desire for additional professional development and growth opportunities. We hear you! Whether a technical training topic, brain-storming opportunity, team-building exercise, or substantive discussion—we want to hear what type of training and training topics would interest you for this coming fall. If you have suggestions for longer-term enhancements to BUILD—and those will take some time—we welcome those as well.

Please send your suggestions to drakehr@drake.edu with the subject line: BUILD Ideas. We would love to hear your suggestions and ideas.
