There are two ways to enroll in the Partnership's Skills for Success courses. You can enroll through the Statewide Learning Management System (SLMS) or through the Partnership's Skills for Success application form. 

Enroll Through SLMS
 

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

Note: Copying the SLMS Class Code from the Skills for Success catalog will help you find the class quickly in SLMS.

If you know your SLMS username, password, and the Partnership course you want to take, log in to SLMS.

• New York State employees: Log in to SLMS
• SUNY employees: Log in
• Local government and private sector employees: Contact the Partnership at (800) 253-4332 or (518) 486-7814 (in the Capital Region) to enroll

If you do not have a SLMS username or password, contact the SLMS help desk at [email protected] or call (518) 473-8087.

• Send your application to the Partnership by using the email address, mailing address, or fax number provided on the form.

Your SLMS status will remain as pending until approximately two to three weeks prior to the start of class, even with supervisory approval. Once the class is selected to run, your SLMS status will be updated to "enrolled" and you will receive an email enrollment notification from SLMS. 

NOTE: If you enroll in a class through SLMS, or by completing the Partnership's Skills for Success application form, and do not receive notification 10 days before the class is scheduled, please call the Partnership at (800) 253-4332.

Learn more about how to enroll 

Your enrollment into a class signifies a commitment to attend the entire class. If you cannot attend and have enrolled through SLMS, please drop the class as soon as possible.

If you cannot attend and you sent in a paper application, please drop the class by contacting the Partnership at (800) 253-4332 or by email at [email protected] as soon as possible.

Do not ask someone to attend in your place because the Partnership maintains a waitlist. By dropping the class at the last minute or failing to attend, you may be denying another employee the opportunity to participate.

Course is Full Notification
If you are not accepted into a course, you will be notified by email. We encourage you to reapply when the course is offered again.

Waitlist
The Partnership will maintain a waitlist for classes that have reached full enrollment, in the event a vacancy occurs. Wait-listed employees will be given advance notice and priority to register the next time the course is offered.

Additional Classes
At times, additional classes are scheduled due to high demand. Employees on waitlists for these classes will be contacted and offered the opportunity to attend the newly scheduled class.

Cancellations
If a course is canceled, you will be notified by email. If there is no email address for you in SLMS, you will be notified by phone.

Date Changes
Occasionally, the Partnership must change a course date. Please read your email notification carefully.
