Hello Leaders,

As previously mentioned, our marketing strategy has recently changed. With these changes, leaders will now receive bi-monthly emails with details on course offerings and university partnerships available to represented employees. This aims to help you initiate development conversations with your teams.

How You Can Help:

  •  Share the information provided in this email with your team.
  •  Encourage employees to utilize available development resources.
Open Enrollment for Current SoCalGas University Represented Offerings

Per the current collective bargaining agreement (Section 5.10, Pre-qualifying Examinations), With supervisor approval, an employee may elect to utilize any unused testing hours for developmental trainings offered by the Company.  If an employee elects to use the hours for developmental trainings, they will not receive additional hours for testing purposes.
