Re: Required training for UAF employees

A March 30 memo from the University of Alaska chief human resources officer Keli Hite鈥怣cGee announced the adoption of a new myUA employee training system called the Employee Learning Library. As part of a commitment to making all our campuses safe and respectful places, UA has identified a minimum of four required training programs for all UA employees. The 汤姆视频 requires additional training for all UAF employees.

Some of you have already taken all or most of these courses and do not need to take them again on the new system. "Anti鈥恇ullying in the Workplace" is a new UA requirement; please note this training must be completed by June 30.

All training programs will eventually be available through the online Employee Learning Library. The myUA platform will allow us to place all required and optional

training on the system, keeping training records in one place. There will be a transition time as we get the additional training programs and everyone鈥檚 training records migrated to myUA.

Injury and Illness Prevention (one time, within 30 days of hire or before undertaking specific activities identified as safety concerns)You do not need to take this training if you already completed UAF Office Safety Training. Your completion records will be updated by Aug. 31, 2018, to reflect this training.
  2. Hazard Communication (one time, within 30 days of hire or before undertaking specific activities identified as safety concerns) You do not need to take this training if you already completed UAF Hazard Communication.
