Employee Training Resources

All staff have at least one training course they need to complete - Intro to Workday. This includes hourly students, RAs, and DOSs.

Security roles: Based on what Workday calls “security roles”, staff will have one or a series of online training courses to complete. Security roles are driven by the accesses you need in the Workday system as an employee, or as a purchaser or Pcard holder, or as a “Manager” (the term Workday uses for supervisor). These are the most common types of security roles but there are many others. 

• Any time you see a course listed as "Recommended" by Elevate - that training is REQUIRED. If it says the training is not recommended -- then it is suggested and optional. 

• New employees should reach out to their supervisor or Erica Williams eharvey2@umd.edu or Aaron Hood ahood@umd.edu for assistance determining training courses to take. 

• Every new employee should take Introduction to Workday

• Register for courses at the Elevate On Demand Training page. 

• As you enroll and complete courses, you will receive confirmation emails from Elevate. I suggest you save those emails in case you need to refer to them in the future. 

This is a list of general guidelines for most common training courses. Please refer to your specific Elevate instructions for the list of courses as your particular security role may require additional training courses.
