Work with the Learning and Development Team
Available Learning and Development Support
The Learning and Development team is available to support GitLab teams in the following capacities. Requests will be evaluated as they come in based on team’s capacity for support, business impact, correlation to company OKRs, and number of impacted users.
| Support Model | When to use this process |
|---|---|
| Creating a new learning pathway | Create a new learning pathway or course for any audience |
| Uploading to company learning platform | Add new or existing learning content to the LXP |
| Integrating external content to learning platform | Add off-the-shelf learning from another provider |
| Requesting content review | L&D review of your learning content for handbook first, adult learning theory, and bias for async alignment |
| Requesting new content creation | You’d like the L&D team to create or host learning content for your team |
Creating a Learning Hub for your team
We work closely with leaders across GitLab to develop landing pages for learning material that is tailored to specific departments and teams. By creating learning hubs in Level Up, teams can contribute, curate, organize, and suggest professional development opportunities for their team members. Some scenarios where you might want to build a Channel include:
- You have multiple self-paced courses you’d like to showcase
- You’d like to track what courses your team is completing
- You’d like a single spot to send team members who are looking for professional development courses
To create new learning hub, open an issue in the lxp-contributions project using the learning-hub issue template.
Create a new course
Anyone at GitLab is encouraged to build new courses. Some scenarios where you might want to build a pathway include:
- Create career development path for your team.
- Build a training for internal and/or external audiences on your role.
- Develop a course that educates on remote work best practices.
- Organize content you’ve found externally, like articles, videos, or podcasts.
Before you start the process to build content for a learning pathway, it’s important that you ensure an existing pathway with the same content or style does not exist. Below are some strategies you can use to search existing content and check for duplication before you start building content.
After you’ve done a complete search of existing material that you can integrate into your pathway creation, you should start building the remainder of the content your pathway needs. When your content is built, open an issue on the lxp-contributions project using the lxp_contribution issue template.
