Finance and Planning is continually working to add to and improve the trainings that are available to financial administrators across campus.  

These improvements produce increased productivity and a better understanding of the various financial systems and tools to support excellence in our administrative processes. 

"Preparing employees with the necessary training to achieve success in their financial roles is a top priority for Finance and Planning,” said Associate Vice President of Finance and Planning Jennifer Hubert. “We are constantly striving to improve the available trainings and are frequently adding new trainings to ensure our colleagues are well equipped to fulfill their duties with confidence as members of Georgia Tech’s community of financial administrators.” 

In recent months, additional trainings have been added along with a comprehensive update of Georgia Tech’s Workday training courses to reflect both system upgrades and process changes that have been incorporated in recent years.   

The training updates are a product of collaboration between the Controller’s Office, Procurement and Business Services, and Enterprise Applications & Data Integrations alongside the Learning and Development department of the Administrative Services Center.
