Mandatory Employment Training

All employees of the University of Wisconsin System are required to take Mandatory Employment Training (MET) courses. These courses support all faculty and staff to contribute to a safe and welcoming campus, keep data confidential and protected, and understand how to respond to reports of concerns.

Current MET Courses


For more information about these trainings, please visit UW System Administrative Policy 1293: Mandatory Employee Training​. ​

Finding Time to Complete the Training Course(s)

See the Current MET Courses section for approximate course completion time.

Courses can be taken during or outside of UWSP business hours.
 
If you are a University Staff hourly (non-exempt) employee, if you would like to take the training outside of your normal working hours, first speak with your supervisor as shift differential may apply and your department may prefer that you take the training during your normal business hours. If approved to do the training course(s) outside of your normal business hours, ensure you put the time to complete the training(s) on your timesheet (listed timeframes above).
If you are a student employee, you may take the training courses anytime. Ensure you put the time to complete the training on your timesheet (listed timeframes above).

We Take Safety and Security on Campus Seriously!

Reminders to complete the training come from UW System after the initial notice. See UW System Administrative Policy 1293: Mandatory Employee Training​ for more information.
