OVERVIEW

Risk Managements online training management system is a web based training

solution for building and delivering education over the intranet to state
employees. This system allows pre-selected state entity administrators to assign
courses to individuals, departments, or to the entire state entity with just a few
clicks of the mouse. An administrator is a person from a state entity who is
responsible for the risk management and workers compensation training for their
entity. The training management system will provide employees a list of courses
that are required as predetermined by their state entitys administrator, as well as
allow the user to select courses of their own. The trainee will be notified of the
assigned course and course completion date through automatic e-mail. By using
a standard web browser each user can deploy online start of selected training
courses. Training courses are in a variety of downloadable document types
(Power-Point, PDF, Video, Word, etc).
As trainees begin and complete assigned courses, their progress is automatically
tracked in a training records database. This will allow the administrator to create
and download training detail reports. The database will keep a three year history
of completed courses.
The Risk Management Division will create and maintain the training programs and
will notify state entity administrators when new training opportunities have been
created.
