We are excited to announce that we have allocated a training budget to support your professional growth and development! Starting this year, each contributor within the Giveth Galaxy will be entitled to 40 hours annual of paid leave to attend these training sessions.

To be eligible for the training budget, you must:

  1. Have worked as a contributor with Giveth Galaxy for at least six months.
  2. Note that any unspent training budget will not be carried over to the next year.

Approval Process

To ensure the training aligns with our team’s needs and goals, the approval process for training courses and classes will be as follows:

  • Design Team: Approved by Marko
  • Development Team: Approved by Krati
  • Product Management (PM): Approved by Alex
  • Other Teams: Approved by Griff or Ahmad
  • Communications - Almond
  • Community & Project Support - Ashley
  • Dao Ops - Mitch

How to Claim Your Training Budget

  1. Identify a Relevant Course: Find a course or training program that will enhance your skills and benefit the Giveth Galaxy.
  2. Submit a Request:
    • Contact the appropriate approver based on your team (see Approval Process above).
    • Provide details about the course, the duration, and how it will benefit your role and the Giveth Galaxy.
  3. Get Approval: Await confirmation… Ensure you receive written approval before taking the course.
  4. Enroll and Attend: Once approved, you can enroll in the course.

If you wish to undertake more extensive training that exceeds the 40 hours limit, it must be for a skill or knowledge area that is critical for the Giveth Galaxy and must be communicated to the approver of your working group.

Let’s continue to learn, grow, and innovate together!

Big Thanks @Nicbals for helping to write this post :slight_smile:

Following up from the gov call, could we allocate time we spent on this under Allocatable Hours → Contributor Training?

This looks good @hanners717 @mitch! I removed the other “professional development” tasks under each WG.
