Does your organization need training for new staff members and volunteers? Would you like to be able to offer further education to existing staff and volunteers? Maddie's^® University offers free space for organizations to create their own customized professional development portals.

You can choose any Maddie's^® University courses and webcasts to be placed in the portal and learners enter the portal through a dedicated URL. Managers of the portal can see who enrolls and completes training. Managers can also add their own content, such as shelter procedures and links to further learning.

To see how your professional development portal could look, first register if you don't already have an account on Maddie's^® University / Maddie's^® Pet Forum. Log in, then go to this sample professional development portal and click the green Enroll button.

After viewing the sample portal, if you are interested in setting up a portal for your organization, please email maddiesuniversity@maddiesfund.org. A member of the Maddie's Fund Education Team will reach out to set up a meeting to discuss your professional development needs.
