Training

Required: Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates

An online program for undergraduate students that addresses the critical issue of sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, and sexual harassment among students, faculty, and staff. This training is available in Canvas.

Are you also an Iowa State student employee?

In addition to the Sexual Assault Prevention Training, you must complete the Harassment and Prevention Discrimination program.

This is an online program that engages employees and raises awareness about harassment and discrimination by explaining policies and laws. Participants will also learn how to recognize harassment and discrimination and report misconduct to the appropriate person. Additionally, employees will learn to identify and report sexual and interpersonal misconduct against students. This course will be assigned to you via Workday.

All faculty and staff -- full-time and part-time -- are required to complete their appropriate course. The Supervisor course is approximately 2 hours, and the Non-Supervisor course is approximately 1 hour. Both courses can be completed in multiple sessions. 

Please complete this training within your first 30 days of employment. Again, this is a mandatory training. In addition to this message, subsequent reminders will be sent until you have completed this required course. This course will be assigned to you via Workday.

*Please note that both trainings will be available to you on your account. We will have documentation that you completed one.

EO Training – Supervisor

This course trains supervisors to recognize, prevent, and respond to workplace harassment and discrimination based on "protected characteristics." The course also helps supervisors address inappropriate behavior before it creates a "hostile work environment" by giving supervisors the skills necessary to reduce potential legal risks by recognizing and addressing abusive behavior and other misconduct, including microaggressions and unconscious bias that may lead to workplace bullying or hostility, reducing productivity and creativity.

EO Training – Non-Supervisor

This training engages employees and raises their awareness about harassment and discrimination by explaining the law, as well as how to recognize harassment and discrimination and report misconduct to the appropriate person. It provides them with practical tips on helping maintain a safe, inclusive environment for work, including safe and positive options for bystander intervention, advice on using inclusive language in the workplace, and information on microaggressions.
