Hello Faculty and Staff:

Federal regulations, State laws and/or campus policy require that all employees participate in mandatory in-person or online compliance training on a variety of topics from Security Awareness to Accessibility to Workplace Violence and Domestic Violence Prevention to Sexual Harassment Prevention. In addition, the College conducts training on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and on College policies and systems.

Last year a training coordination team was assembled to stagger required training. The training is online and can be completed at your convenience.

You will receive an email from the Knowbe4 system inviting you to training. If you have any question as to the legitimacy of the email you receive, please contact CTS.

This page can be found on the Purchase College website under Faculty & Staff > Personnel and Employment.
