Travel & Training

Berkeley IT Travel/Training Program

We encourage all staff to identify professional development opportunities. The bIT conference guide(link is external) is a great starting point. Once you have identified the conference/training, review the 5-Step Process of Travel/Training(link is external) (external link opens a PDF).  Our team is available to provide guidance on the process and help with booking; airfare, Uber vouchers, rental car reservations, and process payment for registration.  

Effective March 21, 2024: All travel and training requests (including those already in the queue) will now be reviewed and approved by both the respective Director and Executive Director. This update is intended to enhance transparency and understanding of requests within each of our Berkeley IT units and across the organization.  It is the traveler's responsibility to gather accurate estimates for airfare, lodging and any other anticipated costs for the trip. 

Note that BearBuy cart approvals can take a few business days. Once your trip is approved, the Admin Team will be in touch to provide assistance with any requests you may have regarding your travel.
