If you have trouble finding relevant learning opportunities, or don’t remember when required training for your role expires, you’re going to appreciate the learning management system that is part of Workday.
David Wirth, the Administrative Transformation Program’s Learning Management Design Team Lead, introduced and provided a demonstration of Workday Learning in ATP’s latest Workday Walkthrough, held on June 8. When Workday goes live in July 2024, all UW System staff will have access to a library of professional development offerings, including required training for their position.
Faculty and staff will be able to search for, indicate interest or enroll in, and track their courses and training in Workday Learning. They will also be able to access offerings from across the UW System and those hosted by vendors such as LinkedIn Learning.
“Best of all, if you change schools, divisions, or even move to a different institution, your transcript will follow you throughout your career with UW,” Wirth noted.
Managers will be able to view and track their team’s training activities and can better support staff members as they work toward training and career goals.
