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.
Some of the rise in training numbers can be attributed to hosting new programs and increased federal requirements for tracking training.
Training-related data is imported from some vendors and transferred between several systems on campus by accessing training records for compliance status or course history records in the Enterprise Data Warehouse (Data transfer schedules) or through API such as used by the Registar to block access if lacking compliance.
The compliance training system is a resource for ensuring important training be completed on schedule and in accordance with regulations, MSU policy, and other best practices.
The ORRS training compliance system (AbilityLMS) licensing allows for all employees, students, FPID holders, and guests affiliated with MSU to schedule, delivery, complete, and report on training.
