This training module won’t only be for PeopleSoft training; it is for training that is mandatory for GNWT employees and training that we may someday make mandatory for training employees. It will track all training.

We’re also doing e-performance on-line; we’re doing payroll on-line, so every individual employee of the GNWT has to go in and access PeopleSoft. So now they’ll have this resource available to them, basically through the same connection, that will allow them to be aware of all training that is available, whether it is mandatory or not mandatory, so that we continue to be a positive learning environment that we try to be here in the GNWT.

It allows people to put themselves on wait lists and they can be automatically notified when a training that they’re interested in that they have been wait listed on suddenly may have an opportunity for them to go.

It will also link into e-performance. We will be able to see on the performance evaluations what training they’ve completed. Usually during a performance process, they’ll identify what training is required and they’ll agree to that with their supervisor, unless of course it’s mandatory, at which point they have to do it. So this sort of brings it all together and allows the individual employees to some degree self-directed, but also there’s a little bit of a push here, as well, to keep everybody sort of moving forward and taking advantage of those opportunities that may be good for them, should they choose to take it.
