About Ability
The Ability training includes both scheduled instructor-led training and online courses. The system allows for assignment of required training for compliance tracking, email reminders, and reports upon demand. The compliance training system is used by many programs that require training for MSU employees, students, and non-MSU affiliates. Essentially all of the MSU community accesses some type of training in Ability. Click below to explore details.
