Mandatory Employee Training "MET" Requirements

New Hire Required Training

UW provides the delivery and recording of 4 mandatory training courses.  Courses are online and self-paced.  Your progress through the course is retained if you leave and return to the course later.  All trainings and notifications will be provided through Workday. New employees are required to complete all training within 30 days of their start date. 

Information Security Awareness 

University employees have access to medium and high-risk data for themselves, as well as others. Maintaining the security of that data from the continuous attack by hackers is a constant threat facing our employees. Information Security Awareness training will provide employees with best practices on their role in protecting the University’s systems and data, along with information on how to recognize the methods employed by hackers. The training will also provide information related to the UW-System information technology acceptable use policies.

Preventing Sexual Harassment and Violence (Title IX) 

UW-Green Bay is committed to maintaining a campus community that ensures all members can work and learn together in a place that is free of discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence. This training is designed to prevent behaviors and provide you skills to identify and prevent, guide conduct, and educate on these important topics.

Mandated Reporter 

Executive Order #54 (relating to the supplemental mandatory reporting requirements of child abuse and neglect) provides that all University of Wisconsin System employees are mandatory reporters and must be able to identify and report suspected child abuse and neglect. Please refer to UW-Green Bay’s Policy on the Reporting of Suspected Child Abuse and Neglect for more information. This training will assist you in recognizing the signs of abuse and predatory behavior and learn how to report reasonable suspicions in compliance with the executive order.

FERPA

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) has two objectives: 1) protect the privacy of education records, and 2) ensure students have a right to review and request amendments to their education records. FERPA applies to all colleges and universities that receive federal funds and establishes rules to limit access to students' personally identifiable information and how it may be used. This course will help you gain a better understanding of the issues to consider when handling or disclosing education records and the FERPA rules that apply in situations you may face in the course of your work.
