Required Training
Every person working for Humboldt, whether staff, faculty, or student employee, is required to take a basic set of courses that are assigned based on their job position. For the most part, these courses have to be taken within the first 30 to 60 days of employment. Other courses are assigned by supervisors based on the job requirements. These may be required to be taken in the first week of employment.
Most of the courses have to be retaken every year or every two or four years. A few of them have to be taken only once.
Below is a list of the basic required courses, frequency, a link to the course's page, and more details. This list is for reference only and you may be required to take courses not listed here.
