UCOP Learning and Development continues their 2026 programming for the Manager Essentials at UCOP, AKA ME@UCOP learning cohort, a required course series for managers and supervisors who are new to UCOP management (those who have assumed their roles within the past three years). 

What is ME@UCOP

ME@UCOP is a training series that helps UCOP people managers learn essential UCOP processes, policies, competencies and leadership philosophies, while building community and connection with their peers.

Managers have one year to complete the series of seven courses. Some courses must be taken in a specific sequence, while others can be completed in any order.

Courses are offered four times throughout the year and will be listed under the Required Training icon on your UC Learning homepage. These courses are highly interactive — they require participation and attendance for the entire session.
