Employees Who Enroll Through the Statewide Learning Management System (SLMS)

Employees must have supervisory approval for courses taken during work hours. It is important to ensure that your correct name and current email address is listed in the Statewide Learning Management System (SLMS).

When your employee applies for a course, you will receive an email notification from [email protected] with the message: Your approval is required to confirm the following enrollment request. The employee's name will also appear in the email. 

Employees who Enroll through the Partnership's Application Form

If an employee is unable to enroll through SLMS, they may complete the Partnership's Skills for Success application form. If the employee is participating during work hours, a supervisory signature is required on the application form.

When you approve an employee's enrollment, you are granting the employee release time to attend the entire course without charge to leave credits.

If several employees in your unit are interested in the same course, please approve only employees you are willing to send for the entire course or webinar.
