Training Overview

Workday Student Training is designed to prepare you to effectively use the new student information system. 


Workday Student - Training Approach

Based on lessons learned from Launch 1, as well as feedback from our community, we have revised our approach to training. 
Where possible, training will be practical and hands-on. Guided by community needs and preferences, training will focus on the system’s most common tasks, processes, and scenarios. 

The design and delivery of training for staff and faculty will follow a continual and consistent stepped approach bringing users through the following models of training in this order.

Build FoundationBuild Foundation training focuses on providing information in topic areas to help the community contextualize the change and future state for their business. This training type is delivered through Change Bundles, Call-In Sessions, Demos, and Videos.
Build ExpertiseBuild Expertise training is where users receive hands-on training sessions, which teach them how to complete tasks needed for their business operations.
Support LearningSupport Learning training includes short-term and long-term sustainable artifacts that can be efficiently updated and are in a format the community will continue to use to onboard new users to the system or refresh knowledge for existing users. Examples of Support Learning training include Knowledge Base articles, Drop-in Sessions, Canvas Courses, etc.
AssessmentThroughout all training, ongoing assessments will help measure the readiness of our community and the effectiveness of the training being delivered.

Simultaneous training, across several topic areas, will occur throughout the entire training period. For example, users can expect to receive Build Foundation training in one topic area while completing Build Expertise training in another.
