MyPURPOSE

MyPURPOSE is a Talent Management System that Commonwealth of Kentucky employees use to access training courses and to find and apply for state job openings. (Eventually they will complete performance plans and evaluations here too!)  (See Kentucky Personnel Cabinet's MyPURPOSE page for specifics about how the state is using the MyPURPOSE.)  The learning portion of MyPURPOSE is called "Commonwealth U."  Commonwealth U functions as Commonwealth of Kentucky's Learning Management System (LMS).

NKY Health purchases an annual subscription to MyPURPOSE for each of its employees so that you may use the LMS portion from work (or from home if you have the necessary technology and approvals) to access and complete:

• Annual required compliance training courses

• Other required training courses

• Training to help you meet your professional goals

You should also feel free to access and complete training to help you meet your personal goals when you are not on work time. 

MyPURPOSE contains modules that have been uploaded by multiple contributors, each with their own unique style.  You may prefer one contributor over another.  The modules NKY Health uploaded all begin with "NKY Health" in their file name.  NKY Health also uses modules from other contributors as part of its curriculum.

You will need your KHRIS User ID and Password to log in to MyPURPOSE. (If you do not have them, you can use the "Forgot" links on KHRIS's portal to retrieve them.) 

When you have your KHRIS User ID and Password follow these steps:

1. Go to the MyPURPOSE site.

2. Enter your User ID and Password.
