Introducing – The PEAK Program

Professional Development Offerings for SCC Staff and Faculty

The PEAK Program offers staff and faculty professional development in the areas of: Technology, Customer Service, Leadership and Inclusion. These areas will support your success, and, ultimately, our students' success! In addition to the four primary areas of emphasis, sessions will be offered to support our personal wellness.

These 30- to 45-minute sessions will provide tips, information, skills and insights that can be applied to your contributions to the College. In most cases, SCC faculty and staff will lead the classes. Program offerings will be designed to support the College's Strategic Plan and related initiatives.

How Does PEAK Work?

For now, all classes will be presented via Zoom. The registration process has been updated and automated. While the class listings are all posted below, to sign up, just visit the PEAK mySCC Portal page here and click on the Zoom registration link next to each class you would like to attend. These sessions are only for SCC staff and faculty, so you must have an SCC email to register.

After you attend a PEAK Program class, your information will be provided to HR to track your Learning & Development points (redeemable through our vendor, 3Cheers). You can sign up for as many PEAK courses as your schedule allows (and it's always good to check in with your team leader!).

Any course handouts and supporting materials will be found in one of four new TEAMS Sites (Technology, Customer Service, Leadership, Inclusion and Wellness). You will have access to the TEAMS Site related to your session (ex.: if you enroll in Zoom Meeting Basics, its folder will be found in the Technology TEAMS site). In that TEAMS site, there will be a folder assigned to each class where you can find handouts and links to additional online training that supports your class via the college's LinkedIn Learning platform – if you are interested in learning more.

Need a Just a Moment to Connect?

Take a moment to connect with your colleagues across campus at Water Cooler Wednesdays and Take-Time-Out Thursdays! These classes are NOT classes at all – they are a chance for a 20-minute social connection with fellow SCC-ers. Each session features a pre-determined topic facilitated by a faculty or staff member who is interested in the topic. Register for these just like you would a traditional PEAK class, and join in and chat with your colleagues and have a little fun. (These opportunities are just for fun, so L&D points are not included.)
