As an employee who takes her career at <COMPANY NAME> very seriously, I would like to discuss my professional development opportunities with you.

I have done a substantial amount of research around potential training options that would be best for me, and add to the pool of skills in our team. I have identified a course that I feel would impact both my career and the organization positively and would like to discuss the possibility of <COMPANY NAME> assisting with the course fees.

The course is a BUSINESS BOOTCAMP for WOMEN. I’m interested in this course because:

• I strongly believe that these skills are extremely relevant to my job responsibilities and learning these skills would improve my performance and output
• The course is practical and action-based, which will allow me to have an immediate impact on the work that I do on a day-to-day basis (It was written up in FORBES saying: “It is an accessible, inviting way to teach women the hard business skills they need…The timing is ripe for a program like this.”)
• I want to master these skills so that I can foster an innovative and competitive approach to our work
• I would like to bring forward recommendations and suggestions to our work processes to ensure continual improvement and boost our organization’s performance
• This course is online, and has a very flexible schedule, so it will not interfere with my work or performance in any way
• This course is delivered through UMass Boston and is cost-effective and practical
• I would be happy to keep you updated with what I am learning throughout the course and share my knowledge with our team, to ensure <COMPANY NAME> receives maximum benefit from my new learnings.

Please let me know when would be a convenient time to chat.

Thank you for your consideration,

<YOUR NAME>
