The NYS & CSEA Partnership prioritizes accessibility across all learning platforms. Courses are offered in a variety of formats including live online classes and webinars, in-person classroom learning, self-paced online options, and recorded courses (offered in SLMS for credit or on our YouTube channel). Resources include closed captioning, pre-printed materials, read out-loud options, and more. 

If you have questions about accessibility, have a request for accommodation, or if you find an issue using an accessibility tool with any of our class formats please call (518) 408-1822 or email [email protected]

The Partnership's Skills for Success courses are available through the Statewide Learning Management System (SLMS). SLMS is a web-based application used to manage, deliver, and track training for all NYS employees.
