UT Dallas’ Talent Development team provides resources and training for UTD employees throughout the year.

We also provide these services to UTD’s schools and departments to create a positive environment where faculty and staff can achieve their full potential. We are here to help employees develop in their current roles and prepare for future opportunities.

Our Objectives

  • Through consulting, assessing and training, our team seeks to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of the University and its employees.
  • Enhancing our employees’ satisfaction with the quality of work and work environment.
  • Providing opportunities for departments and workgroups to analyze and improve on processes and productivity.
  • Creating and delivering opportunities for individuals to develop new technical, personal, interpersonal and work-related skills in order to be successful at UTD.

BRIGHT Leaders

The BRIGHT Leaders platform is a vision for leadership and professional development at UT Dallas. BRIGHT Leaders is an inclusive program that enables the success of all UTD employees by providing growth opportunities for staff and faculty at all levels. Participants can learn leadership principles and access tools so they may “Lead from Where You Are”, and that support and nurture the professional development of bold, responsible, high-performing, and transformative leaders. The program is hosted virtually via MS Teams and is an open resource of articles, book recommendations, videos, in person and on-line classes, and leadership pathways with core classes and recommendations for a more structured development plan for those who desire.
