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 system recorded approximately 90,000 course completions in 2018; over 157,000 completions in 2019. Some of the rise in training numbers can be attributed to better tracking. Changes in federal training requirements (e.g. RCR, TitleIX, WPS, Silica Safety,...) have also increased compliance training.
The compliance training system is used by many programs that require training for MSU employees and students. Essentially all of the MSU community accesses some type of training in Ability.
