New Employee Trainings
To support a safe, inclusive, and secure workplace, Boise State University requires all new benefit-eligible employees and adjunct faculty to complete these trainings on respectful workplace practices and cybersecurity awareness. These trainings have been combined into a Canvas course titled “New Employee Mandatory Annual Trainings”.
- Respectful Workplace Training provides employees with the tools to prevent and report harassment and discrimination, fostering a safe and supportive environment at our university.
- Cybersecurity Training, mandated by the Idaho Office of Information Technology Services, educates employees about potential cyber threats and how to protect university data.
All employees (including students, faculty, adjunct faculty, and staff, but excluding temporary and part-time employees) are automatically enrolled in this course on their first date of employment and can access it through their Canvas Dashboard. After initial completion, the Cybersecurity Training component must also be completed again in October during Cybersecurity Awareness Month. For questions, please contact learning@boisestate.edu.
Trainings Due Annually in March
All benefit-eligible employees and adjuncts are required to complete both Respectful Workplace and Cybersecurity trainings by the end of March. These trainings will be available on your Canvas Dashboard in early March and are required to be eligible for Change in Employee Compensation (CEC) (an annual pay increase) if the state authorizes it.
These trainings are similar to the “New Employee Mandatory Annual Trainings,” as they are state-mandated and must be completed within 30 days of hire and annually thereafter. For questions, please contact hrs@boisestate.edu.
