Workday Course Catalog

Empower yourself to navigate Workday with greater ease with the course offerings in the training catalog.

This catalog offers a variety of resources designed to meet your specific needs, whether you're a new user or a seasoned pro. 

Important information:

  • Workday training will be rolled out in 3 phases:
    1. General courses - beginning the week of May 13
    2. HCM (HR) courses - beginning the week of May 27
    3. Finance-related courses - beginning the week of June 17
  • Additional sessions of the "general" courses will be opened up when the HCM and Finance classes become available. 
  • Online versions of the classes will become available in Osprey Ascend during the week the instructor-led (in-person) classes roll out in their respective phases. For example, online versions of the "general" courses will become available during the week of May 13.
  • If necessary, we will offer some classes over ZOOM to accommodate larger groups of employees, but those will be facilitated in a demonstration style.  The availability of those sessions will be communicated at a later date.
  • We will extend the availability of Workday training for existing employees through July 5, or longer, depending on the resumption date of the Welcome to the Nest new employee orientation program.
  • Detailed process/procedure documentation will be provided to employees during training and will also be available online.  Information will be provided at a later date on where to access the online documentation.
  • For Workday courses that will directly impact faculty, we will be offering instructor-led sessions (in-person and via ZOOM) during the month of August.  The online versions of those classes will also be available in Osprey Ascend.

After go live, and when new employee orientation is resumed, we will be restructuring the way we offer employee training so that new employees can begin Workday training on their second day of employment.  More information on this will be provided as we get closer to July 1.
