Staff training session

Inservice describes training or professional development that occurs while someone remains employed, especially for teachers: an inservice day, inservice training.

Schools schedule inservice days when students stay home while teachers attend workshops or meetings.

The term contrasts with preservice training that happens before employment begins.
